About the Item

Hand-carved wooden sculpture representing a traditional guardian or deity figure, often referred to as the "Lady of Popa," originating from Vietnam or Southeast Asia. This striking piece features polychrome decoration in rich green, red, and earthy tones, and showcases stylized flame-like motifs on the limbs and costume. The figure's elegant stance and expressive hand gestures suggest a ritual or protective role, while the headdress adorned with a mythological creature adds cultural depth. A captivating example of regional craftsmanship and spiritual artistry. Please note!
