Guardian statue from Nepal – 68 cm | Hand Carved Wood | Ethnic Art
Overview
VERY Old, Heavy Wooden Guardian Statue from Nepal
Add an authentic piece of the Himalayas to your interior with this unique guardian statue from Nepal. Standing at an impressive height of 68 cm, this hand-carved wooden figure is a powerful symbol of protection and spiritual vigilance. Guardian statues are traditionally placed at the entrances of homes or sacred sites to ward off evil spirits and safeguard the well-being of inhabitants.
This heavy statue was meticulously handcrafted by Nepalese artisans, making each piece one of a kind. Its raw, weathered surface emphasizes the purity of the natural wood and contributes to its authentic appearance. Over time, the statue has developed a beautiful patina, with visible signs of wood oxidation in some areas.
The figure displays a calm, almost meditative expression, with hands in a prayer or protective gesture—enhancing its spiritual essence.
An authentic tribal piece; perfect as a spiritual décor item, bohemian home accessory, or collectible for lovers of tribal and ethnic art. The statue is mounted neatly on a solid wooden base.
