Stone figure "nomoli"

Description

greyish brown patina, dominated by a big head with accentuated eyes, min. dam., minor missing parts, slight traces of abrasion;
such figures were used in fertility rites to grant a good rice harvest. The treatment of the “nomoli” was not affected by reference for them. If the harvest was not satisfying, it might have happened that the stone figures were whipped, sometimes until they were damaged or even destroyed.
