About the Item
This Leti ancestor statue, hand-carved from patinated wood, originates from the small Indonesian island of Leti. Depicting an ancestral figure crowned with an elaborate headdress, it once adorned traditional houses, serving both as a spiritual guardian and a tribute to departed elders. The natural patina and finely detailed carvings reflect the essence of tribal craftsmanship and sacred symbolism. Rich in cultural depth, this Leti ancestor figure combines authenticity, history, and aesthetic power. Unique and expressive, it makes a striking addition to any ethnic, wabi-sabi, or contemporary interior, as well as to collections of primitive or tribal art.
