Vintage Indonesia Naga Morsarang Batak Medicine Wooden Horn Container Hand Carved. Measures 22" wide, 12" tall and 2.5" thick. Delicate details throughout. Comes with rope for wall hanging.
Naga morsarang is one of several types of container in which the datu (Batak people's ritual specialist) kept a supernaturally powerful potion. The naga morsarang is extensively decorated with complex patterns. The outer surface is incised thoroughly with complex designs. The pointed end of the horn is carved into the shape of a seated figure of a young boy. The opening of the horn is plugged with a wooden stopper. This wooden stopper is shaped into a figure of the singa, a Naga-like underground figure. 4 additional figures are carved as mounting the singa e.g. the lizard Boraspati ni Tano. These human figures may represent the datu, owner of the naga morsarang, and the former datus, former owners of the naga morsarang. Others think that these figures represent characters from Batak mythology.
