The work above is titled "Tiwi People Burial Ceremony (Pukamani) Poles" and it was created by Australian Aboriginal artists. It is a wooden sculpture that was made in 1984. It exemplifies the idea of revealing hidden or universal truths because, like most aboriginal work, it shows the presence of an Ancestral Being. The various symbols used throughout the base of the pole show the history and life of the Ancestral Being and the face represents the physical appearance of the Being.
