Beautifully carved protective figure from Borneo, crafted in wood during the 19th century.
The figure reflects its original role as a spiritual or protective object, carrying a strong and raw presence. The hand-carved details give it a vivid and almost archaic expression, shaped by traditional craftsmanship.
The surface shows a naturally developed patina, enhancing its authenticity and age while adding depth and character. Measuring 59 cm in height including the stand and 56 cm without, the piece has a striking yet balanced presence.
Mounted on a discreet stand, the figure is well suited for display and allows the form to stand out clearly.
An atmospheric and authentic example of tribal art from Borneo – particularly appealing to collectors of ethnographic and spiritual objects.
