This Papua New Guinea storyboard is an etsy.com find. The seller didn't know what they had and it was only labeled 'nautical carving' which it kinda is. It was an inexpensive purchase.
It's 33x16. It does have ochre that has been rubbed into the background along with the usual white lime. I read that a natural wax from the kapiak tree is also rubbed onto the finished pieces.
Maybe a thread should be started for people to post pictures of their storyboards. I've got 3. The Palau storyboard I have is my favorite.
I would like to learn how to read the stories portrayed on them.
