Description from the seller

Collection of three Merapu statuettes from the island of Sumba.
The three maternity figures—two pregnant, and one with a newborn in the womb—were used as talismans of good luck.
Carved in hardwood, they have a beautiful patina formed by time and use.
Height dimensions from about 18 to 15 cm.
Dates from the first half of the 1900s.
In my personal collection since 1992.
The photos are an integral part of the description.
