Pagar Magic Figure

Batak, Sumatra
19th Century
Ex: Marc Franklin, San Francisco


This is a very dramatic example of a Pagar figure. The minimalist yet brilliant conception of this object demonstrates the true capacity of the artist. In addition to exhibiting raw sculpture with its atypical ‘Zigzag’ form; this figure draws the viewer in with its heavy encrusted surface and original ‘Pupuk’ charge. This figure has all the elements of a true magic object. In excellent condition.

This figure stands 9.5 inches in height.
