Description
Protective bust in namaste
Wood, old brown patina, localised weathering
Humla region, Nepal
26 x 14 x 14 cm
This protective figure in namaste position was probably intended for a domestic or ritual space in the Himalayan regions of Nepal. The gesture of clasped hands suggests prayer, welcome and protection.
The frontal aspect of the face, the pure forms and the marks of use indicate a sculpture linked to local ritual practices that are still partly unknown in the regions of Humla and the Nepalese hills.
