Description
Old Jewelry / exceedingly rare supersize aristocrat Mamuli for home display, not the usual body jewelry. A lavish oversize symbol of womanhood / women symbol and fertility, once own by the privileged class in Sumba Island. Stand included. Circa 1950.
The overall forms of mamuli represent stylized female genitalia; however, each is considered either male or female depending on its secondary characteristics. Male mamuli have flaring bases, which, in the finest examples, are embellished with minute figures of humans, animals, or other subjects.
