Male figure

Our statuette is depicted in the classic kandimbong position , standing with arms detached from the body and hands resting on the hips. The legs are slightly bent, one of them adorned with a fiber bracelet at the base.

The large forehead supports a headdress topped by a possum. There are many myths about this animal, which was once associated with “headhunting”.

The long, curved nose, with the tip joining the umbilicus, indicates that we have here a representation of a clan ancestral spirit.

This statuette acted as a protective charm. Individually owned, it brought its owner luck in hunting and war, as well as in love.
