Decorative ornament - Indonesia

Ger van Oers

Selected by Ger van Oers

A 'kalabubu' was always worn by men and was once reserved for head hunters and warriors. The round shape is made of coconut disks combined and finished with either brass or golden lock piece. The golden variants from North-Nias, known as 'Neftali-tali', were exclusively worn by high ranked men, on festive occasions like the Owasa fest. Unlike those from the north of Nias, which are finished with gold, the southern examples like this one are finished with brass. APPROXIMATE DIMENSIONS including stand: Height: 36 cm Width: 25 cm The standard will be shipped along as part of the Kalabubu. THE SHIPPING: - The item will be sent with a Track & Trace code via DHL Parcel, DPD or postNl. The tracking will be updated in your Catawiki lot once your parcel has been dropped off. Please check regularly to avoid your parcel being returned. - If you have any questions about your parcel please contact us using the Catawiki message service. We will try to reply within 3 working days.
