Royal
Ancestor Figure
Nias, Indonesia
19th Century
This fine central Nias figure is conceived in a stylized form that in
profile is elegantly thin. The sculpture is very well balanced with great
tension in the body and legs. The elaborate crown and earrings indicate
that this figure represents royalty. The patina is deep from years of
exposure and use and there are still remains of the figure’s skirt.
In excellent condition.
This figure stands 12.5 inches tall.
SOLD / IN 2108
