An Orators stool, Sepik Region, Papua<br />
New Guinea<br />
a figural ceremonial stool carved from<br />
Kwila wood decorated with applied<br />
clay, money cowrie shells, woven fibre<br />
and vegetable pigment paint<br />
226cm high<br />
NOTE<br />
This artifact is known as an Orator's<br />
stool and was used by the Iatmul<br />
people to the north of the Sepik and<br />
Chambri Lakes, Papua New Guinea.<br />
Each Haus Tambaran (cult house) has<br />
such a stool which is used only on<br />
ceremonial speech making occasions<br />
when the Orator strikes the seat part<br />
with a bundle of leaves to emphasise<br />
his main points. The Orator's stool<br />
represents the collective wisdom of<br />
the clan's departed ancestors who<br />
return at the time of such ceremonies<br />
to guide and instruct the discussions.<br />
