⸻ Three Shamanic Ritual Objects – Lesser Sunda Islands (Timor region, Indonesia?) A rare group of three wooden shamanic ritual implements, likely originating from the Lesser Sunda Islands, possibly Timor. Each piece is hand-carved and surmounted by a distinct head, suggesting individual spiritual identities or functions. These objects were almost certainly used in ritual or healing contexts by a local shaman (dukun), and show strong signs of age and use. The expressive carving of the heads may represent ancestral spirits, protective entities, or intermediaries between the human and spirit worlds. The wood has developed a fine patina consistent with prolonged handling and ceremonial use. Variations in carving style and head form indicate that each object had a specific symbolic role. Details: * Material: Wood * Origin: Lesser Sunda Islands (Timor region?), Indonesia * Number of items: 3 * Condition: Good, with age-related wear and patina * Function: Ritual / shamanic use A compelling and authentic group of ethnographic objects, of interest to collectors of tribal art and ritual artefacts.
