Ancestor Statue, Nias Island, Indonesia
Artist: Ile De Nias
Ancestor statue called '"adu zatua". It represents a man standing without arms. His erect penis is an attribute that designates the ancestors and symbolizes the lineage. A necklace adorns her neck. The face is stoic, it is there to protect. He wears a mustache and a goatee. He wears a crown surmounted by two horns.
Very nice representation of ancestor with a well balanced sculpture.
Wood with greasy brown patina nuanced with red.
