Descripción
The Massim style is a stylized, curvilinear and geometric low relief carving, which can be glazed with lime to develop a contrast against the dark wood or painted with colorful patterns. The three types of incised designed utilized in the Massim style are 'motifs,' 'fillers' that fill in the space around a motif, and 'dividers' that create spatial divisions in the piece. This style is used by the inhabitants of the Massim area in Papua New Guinea.
