This Indonesian Batak medicine container is made of bamboo with a hand-carved wooden figurine stopper. The container was traditionally used by a datu (shaman) to store herbs, medicines, and ritual potions. The carved figure depicts a human figure riding the legendary Naga or Singa, a protective dragon deity image. The etched patterns on the bamboo surface are often a calendar that marks significant days for the use of the contents. We feel that the piece is in overall good original condition with great original patina Dimensions 29cm height 7cm width 5cm depth Item will be shipped with registered shipping
