Tout au long du fleuve Sepik, la musique – considérée comme l’expression de la voix des ancêtres – est un privilège réservé aux hommes initiés. Les instruments de musique sont donc des œuvres d’art à part entière et font l’objet d’un soin très particulier. Si les bouchons de flûte aviformes sont fréquents (Kelm, Kunst vom Sepik, 1966, vol. 1, n° 235 et 236), celui-ci se singularise par l’association du corps humain à la tête d’un oiseau.
