This area is renowned for their majestic
royal ancestral representations. The prominence of the large and
bulging closed eyes refers to the subject’s status as a being endowed
with a heightened sense of the spiritual realm. Cared for and kept
in a shrine as an important statue which was given the name
of the ancestor it represented.Likely post WWII.
