Antique - 1800s Sumatra Batak Indonesian Tribal Carved Bovine Bone & Wood Container - EXC
Authentic, well-constructed Sumatra Batak Indonesian container, made in the 19th century. The piece combines dark wood and decoratively carved bone. We can't be sure what the function of this piece was or is. It appears to be some sort of cup or container - perhaps for medicine, although there is no lid. Could be hung if hardware were added to the flat back. Please also refer to our Condition Description and photographs.
