Beautifully stylized carved offering bowl with a Singa head. Images of singa are carved into various objects such as household utensils, medicine containers, jewelry, amulets, wooden coffins, stone sarcophagi, barns, and traditional Batak houses. Due to its frequent use, the singa became a symbol of Batak culture.
Singa is an apotropaic figure from the mythology of the Batak people of North Sumatra, Indonesia. The singa represents a benevolent and protective force. The singa is described as "part human, part water buffalo and part crocodile or lizard". It is variedly represented, but always has an elongated face, with large bulging eyes, a well-defined nose and a long spiral beard. (Source Wikipedia)
