Brass Batak Singa Ring Dimensions:H – 3.3 x 3.5 x 1.8 cmInner diameter – 2.5 cmWeight – 43 g Price include shipping by DHL worldwide. A substantial and characterful ring cast in brass, featuring the stylized Singa—a mythological protective creature central to the visual culture of the Batak people of North Sumatra. The Singa is rendered in bold relief, its face marked by prominent circular eyes, a pronounced snout, and flowing, symmetrical ornamentation that conveys both strength and vigilance. The shoulders and band are richly decorated with geometric and curvilinear motifs, including raised bosses and scroll-like elements, echoing traditional Batak carving aesthetics often seen in ritual architecture and protective objects. The sculptural quality of the ring gives it a talismanic presence, suggesting its role not merely as adornment but as a symbolic guardian. The surface exhibits a warm, aged patina, with darker recesses accentuating the depth of the relief work and highlighting the craftsmanship of the piece.
