Guardian of the Past

Known for their deep connection to nature and spiritual beliefs, Naga artisans crafted sculptures using simple tools and an intuitive understanding of wood. This piece showcases a seated figure, likely a deity or mythical being, holding what appears to be a skull or a symbolic representation of a head. In Naga culture, skulls often hold significant spiritual and symbolic meaning. They may represent ancestors, guardian spirits, or symbols of power and protection. The figure's possession of this skull could signify its connection to the spirit world or its role as a protector or guardian. This one-of-a-kind piece would make a wonderful addition to a collection of tribal art.
