Architecture ornament - Sulawesi - Toraja - Indonesia

Toraia Tribal art from Sulawesi, an original Toraja decorative ornament used to decorate the pillars that serve as the foundation for Toraja houses.

Old (circa 1950) and 100% authentic. Placed on a beautiful sleek black base, it is a valuable addition as a decorative item for your home. Very special for collectors, as the Toraja culture has been declared a Cultural Heritage. This ornament has been in my possession for over 20 years and was purchased in Sulawesi at the time. Dimensions approximately 69 x 39 cm. The weight is extremely heavy! approximately 40 kg.

The wood has a unique patina, and the item is in reasonable condition despite its age and exposure to weather conditions. The cracks in the Ulin Iron Wood contribute, in my opinion, to the authenticity and character of this beautiful piece!

The standard is included.
