    Relief carved wood Storyboard
    from the Kambot Village People of Papua New Guinea.
    Storyboards are a tradition of the Kambot Tribe in the lower Sepik region.

    Storyboards are displayed in Haus Tambarans (men's houses) as decorations.
    The storyboard is finished with a natural wax from the milk of the Kapiak Tree while the details are picked out by white lime.
