Wonderful sumba statue made of bone on a custom stand. Sumbanese bone sculptures, in the context of Sumbanese culture, do not refer to statues explicitly made of bone, but rather to traditional ceremonies involving sacrificial animal bones as an essential part of ancestral veneration rituals. These ceremonies, often called "bone-eating feasts" or "Galih Tulang," are a form of respect for ancestral spirits and also have social significance in strengthening family ties.
