MEASUREMENTS: cm 18.5; 23; 17.5; Three finely crafted bone vessels created for storing medicinal herbs, adorned with elaborate Kaif patterns – a unique Timorese motif characterized by diamonds and hooks, each distinct to the sculptor's village and clan affiliation. The lids, artistically carved in the form of ancestor heads, are crafted from wood, with red coloring on the interior, possibly derived from rosewood. The container on the right features a cord of glass beads connecting the lid to the base. These containers offer valuable glimpses into Atoni culture, shedding light on their shamanic practices and the significance of medicinal herbs within their cultural context.
