Watershed Period V, ca. 800 to 1100 CE. Skillfully carved from volcanic stone, a magnificent male headhunter standing tall and holding a trophy head to his waist. The carving depicts a standing hunter with a fearsome visage lips open and displaying his teeth, the upper arms with an incised band to represent a tribal banded tattoo. The statue is most likely a shamanistic idol to protect the indigenous community from evil spirits.
