Old Wooden Figures
Product Description:This primitive hand-carved figure is from East Timor. Ringed by coral reefs teeming with marine life, ancestral figure carvings were produced to honor the departed: statues are carved and usually kept in the false roof of the lopo. They can be brought out to re-tell stories and to remember past family members. Similarly, guardian spirits, ancestor figures, or totemic spirits are all captured in wood to be passed down for posterity and used to build the village's spiritual power. Product Specification:
30 x 50 x 255 CM
