This is an extraordinary ethnographic set imported from the Toraja people of Sulawesi. It is a pair of exquisite Tau Tau ancestral carvings made from a jackfruit tree. This man and woman are effigies representing the deceased who are made to protect the living. This pair has beautiful attention to detail and are carved in a crouching position holding sacred bags for the Afterlife. They are vintage and show signs of ritual wear as you can see in the photos. They were once part of Jean Laurant’s collection and I am honored to offer them. They each measure approximately 6” in height and Priority Mail shipping for the set will be $15.00. All actions are unconditionally guaranteed and proceeds directly benefit our animal sanctuary in northern Arizona. Thank you so much for your support!
