Description from the seller

Beautiful collection of eight amulet statuettes from West Sumba.
Carved in various types of hard woods, these amulets were kept and placed in different parts of the home. The Marapu religion is still present in Sumba, but the old traditions have now been lost. These statuettes vary in height from 5 cm to 13 cm.
In good condition and with personalized support.
Note the beautiful patina that time and use have imparted.
From my personal collection.
