It is a mythological figure often depicted on sacred objects such as magic sticks called tunggal panaluan. These sculptures are used to ward off evil spirits and ensure the safety of the community.
19th century, beautiful, well-marked patina on the handle (lustre) and on the bottom of the mortar.
Provenance: Claude de Marteau Collection.
Sold with certificate of provenance.
