Antique Nepali Tribal Art Sculpture

This unique ancestral figure is a direct and powerful spiritual message carved in wood. Hailing from the remote Dolpo region of Nepal, this genuine 19th-century antique is defined by the striking, stylized skull-like face at its crown. This bold iconography elevates the piece beyond a simple effigy, suggesting a role as a protective or shamanic guide for the community. Hand-carved from dense, indigenous wood, the figure’s deep, oxidized gray-brown patina and severe vertical cracking are silent evidence of its century-plus journey. Measuring 40 inches tall, the sculpture’s raw, tapering base means it is best suited for wall-mounting or display on a custom base, bringing the raw, sacred power of the Himalayas into your interior design. *Era: Antique *Material: Wood *Size: 4.5“(L) x 3“(D) x 43.75“(H) *Color: Brown *Condition: Wear consistent with age & use, blemishes and imperfections will be present.
