Product SKU: DAYU3281
Description
Antique Timorese ancestral figure hand-carved from dense hardwood and presented on a custom mount. Its elongated reductive form reflects a traditional carving language centered on spiritual presence rather than naturalism, representing a lineage ancestor or protective spirit. Figures of this kind were historically kept within sacred family structures and brought forward during ritual ceremonies, where they served as intermediaries between the living and ancestral realm. The upright posture and watchful expression convey a sense of authority and guardianship. The worn surface and softened edges speak to age, handling, and ritual exposure.
