This print showcases a wooden protective figure from the enchanting Nicobar islands. Crafted with meticulous detail, this artifact exudes an air of mystery and power. Standing tall and fierce, it is evident that this figure was created to ward off evil spirits that may threaten its surroundings. The most striking feature of this protective figure is undoubtedly the boar's tusks protruding from its mouth, adding an extra layer of intimidation. The artist behind this masterpiece skillfully captured the essence of strength and resilience in every inch of wood. Now residing in the prestigious Horniman Museum in London, this image serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage found within these remote islands. Its presence evokes a sense of awe and curiosity among visitors who are fortunate enough to witness it firsthand.
