    Nias statue - Indonesia



    Wearing its Tuwu crown, this sculpted subject forms an ancestor figure, a reduced version of the monumental statues presiding over judgments, trials and executions for various transgressions and placed in the houses of chiefs. Nias is the largest of the North Sumatran islands in the Indian Ocean. The ancestor figures of the Nias (men) are associated with local creation myths, according to which a heroic figure called Hia came from the celestial regions to the banks of the Gomo.
