Oviri (Gauguin)

Oviri (Savage in Tahitian) is a stoneware ceramic sculpture created from partially glazed stoneware by the French artist Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) in the winter of 1894/95. The work depicts the Goddess Oviri, a Tahitian deity of death and mourning, whose name translates as "savage" or "wild".^[2] She is shown strangling a blood stained wolf cub at her hip, while another wolf lies dead under her feet.
