About the Item

This Leti tribal statue with stand is an authentic hand-carved piece from Leti Island, Indonesia. Representing an ancestral guardian, it was traditionally placed at village entrances to bring protection, fertility, and abundance. Crafted from dense, aged wood, the figure shows traces of red and white ritual pigments. The elongated face, wide-open eyes, and crossed arms create a mystical and powerful presence. Mounted on a minimalist black metal stand, the statue is ready for display in a private collection, gallery, or curated interior. It combines primitive aesthetics, spiritual symbolism, and historical depth in one exceptional piece.
