Description from the seller
A genuine teak wood Singa house ornament from the Batak on Sumatra.
ORIGINAL Gorga Batak santun Primitive
An original teak Singa house ornament from the Batak on Sumatra. The ornament dates from early 19th century
Toba Batak Gorga is the art of carving or chiseling which is usually found on the exterior of the Toba Batak traditional house. Gorga can be called a pattern or motif that is not only carved but also painted. Generally Batak Gorga only uses three colors of paint. Such as, red, black, and white. These three kinds of colors are called triple bolit. The materials for this Gorga are usually soft wood. Which is easy to cut / chisel. The Batak grandmothers choose ungil wood or some people call it ingul wood. This Ungil wood has certain properties. Including being resistant to direct sunlight, as well as exposure to rain water. Which means it is not easily damaged / decayed due to sunburn and rainwater exposure.
The patina of the old paint and wood is incredible, completely original, no restorations or repairs I left the original nails in there which show on the last photo. ! Comes with a custom made stand! With a custom made iron stand it has a height of 55 cm. (dimensions of the item itself are: 68x30x12 cm HxWxD) wieight incl stand over 6 KG.
