Description

wood, pigments, base

This figure wears a palm leaf crown and long earrings “sialu”, of the kind typically worn by women.

The figures served as homes for the spirits of deceased ancestors and were common throughout Nias. They served as a medium to contact the ancestors. They were revered and received offerings.
