👉 The Ior crest, or "Ior" crest, is a distinctive symbol of the Ior people, an indigenous group primarily found in the mountainous regions of Papua New Guinea, particularly around the Central Province. This crest features a stylized, geometric design that often includes intricate patterns and shapes, such as spirals, chevrons, and abstract motifs, which are believed to hold cultural and spiritual significance. The Ior crest is typically worn on ceremonial occasions, such as during rites of passage, festivals, and important community gatherings, serving as a visual representation of the wearer's identity, status, and connection to their heritage. Its unique design not only distinguishes the Ior people from others but also reflects their deep-rooted traditions and the natural environment they inhabit.
