Nepalee primitive figure n°4, Himalaya

This is a typical house protector, with a well balanced weathered erosion, indicating that it was exposed outside, for many years, likely on the roof of a house or in a shrine or on a peculiar power location such as a bridge or pass. Age can be between 50 and 70 years. In spite of profound erosion signs, the entire design is still in very good shape. This figure is part of a pair collected in the district of Jumla and shows the characteristic position of "Namaste", indicating respect and good luck . Hard red wood. Height is 15 inches (38 cm).
