Shaman’s
Magic Container
Karo Batak, Sumatra
19th Century
This fine diminutive magic container also known as (Buli-Buli) is an exceptional
work of art. The container is mountain goat horn while the stopper is
wood. The figural stopper has great cubist qualities. Some cubist sculptures
tend to look ‘blocky’ or lack movement. This piece remains
faithful to cubism but breaks the barriers with a wonderful twist to the
body that adds great movement to the object. The face is well carved and
still contains its original lead eyes which makes this piece all the more
magical.
This container is 7 inches tall.
