Tribal statuette of Timor in petrified wood: a true collector's item
- Dimensions: height 25cm x width 5.5cm x depth 4cm approx. Weight: 0.26kg approximately.
- Material: Petrified mango wood.
- Artisanal creation imported in compliance with fair trade rules. Minor imperfections or differences in appearance are possible compared to the model photographed, testifying to the authenticity of each piece.
This petrified wooden statuette from Timor, made using artisanal methods, is a rare piece, imbued with spirituality, memory and tribal symbolism.
The face with closed eyelids gives off an impression of peace and contemplation. It may evoke a praying ancestor or a protective spirit. The pyramidal headdress engraved with triangular motifs is reminiscent of Timorese ritual headgear, worn by authority figures or shamans. We are therefore dealing here with a person of high spiritual rank. The straight and undetailed body reinforces the totemic character of the statuette. Its verticality gives a guard or pillar effect, a symbol of stability.
The textures, signs of wear and partial discolouration testify to its age and the traditional techniques used to petrify the wood : burning and prolonged burial underground. This inimitable antique style further enhances its authenticity and visual impact.
Placed at eye level on an open shelf or in a wall niche, this unique piece of art will capture the attention of anyone who lays their eye on it. Soft lighting on the back of the statue will create a meditative and inspiring atmosphere. If you have a collection of tribal or ethnic objects, give it a central, higher place, which will give it a protective status.
Discover the timeless character of the Primitive Arts with this remarkable Timorese statuette in petrified wood, available in a limited edition. An object endowed with a strong magnetism and a raw aesthetic that thwarts fashion effects.
No to disposable decoration, yes to authenticity and the preservation of traditional cultures and know-how
In a world saturated with soulless, mass-produced objects that are immediately forgotten, choosing a handcrafted piece such as this statuette from Timor is truly an act of resistance.
It means saying no to disposable decoration dictated by ephemeral trends, and preferring to turn to durable objects, bearers of meaning, memory and humanity.
Because, make no mistake, this statuette is not a simple decorative object. It embodies centuries of know-how, and the inestimable value of ancestral traditions that are now threatened.
By acquiring this object, you are supporting a local economy based on craftsmanship and encouraging production on a human scale, respectful of natural resources and the dignity of craftsmen. Each piece is unique, carefully crafted, and has a timeless value, a simple and authentic beauty that doesn't care about the passing of time.
Yes, it's priced higher than a mass-produced item, but it's fair. Just to those who created it (the Timorese craftsmen), to those who offer it to you (us), but also to the planet, and also to you, who deserve better than an impersonal and rootless decoration.
Choosing authenticity means bringing into oneself a part of a richer, more alive, and more human world.
