This is an extremely rare piece representing Primitive Art, which is gaining attention from collectors worldwide. With an impressive height of 76cm, its large size makes it a centerpiece for Asian, ethnic, retro, or vintage interiors.

Its most striking feature is the pair of eyes, inlaid with cowrie shells that emit an eerie yet powerful glow.
