Description
This exquisite statue is a beautiful representation of the Sumatran Indonesian Batak mythological Seahorse. Crafted using cast metal and traditional metalwork techniques, this small yet striking sculpture is a perfect addition to any folk art collection. The intricate details of the Seahorse design and the mythological theme make it a unique and fascinating piece. The sculpture is perfect for display in any art gallery or as a decorative item in any home. The use of high-quality metal material ensures its durability and longevity. This sculpture is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of folk art and mythology. The seahorse measures approximately 5.0 inches in length and stands 4.25 inches high. The lower body twist off to reveal a hollow cavity for hosing "medicine." The wonderful piece of ancient folk art was purchased out of a local estate in Southerm Massachusetts. I am uncertain as to its age. I have seen a few of these examples on line. This piece surpasses all of them in design and intricate but crude metalwork. A fine piece and a must have. Being offered at a LOW cost.
