<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Toba, post: 430341, member: 9023&quot;][ATTACH=full]150705[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]150706[/ATTACH] The Batak on Samosir, Indonesia are famous for their carving ability, usually tribal images - intricate staffs, panels showing village life, musicsl instruments, masks. I don&#039;t own many, but I&#039;ll post this one just because I like it so much and have never seen another like it. I&#039;m definitely no expert, but it appears to be from 30 or more years ago, judging from the fading and style of dress. I think of this statue as folk art really, and comical too. The Batak used to head hunt. And were occasional canibals. This one appears to be wearing bad drag. Anybody been to the Folk Art Museum in NYC? That&#039;s what I immediately thought of when I bought this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
