A striking polychrome wood sculpture, depicting Singa Barong \u2013 the mythical winged lion, known from Balinese and Javanese traditions. The creature is shown in a vigilant posture, seated on an ornate base with an open maw and bared teeth. The figure's appearance is completed by characteristic, bulging eyes, a coiled tail, and a mane. Its body is covered with linear motifs resembling tattoos, its chest adorned with a wide necklace, and its front paws with bracelets. The sculpture was most likely associated with a protective function, both in temple and domestic settings. <\/p>

The Barong motif, known from the ritual Barong dance, among others, symbolizes the struggle between the forces of good and evil and serves a protective function within the local belief system. Characteristic features of the depiction, such as the open maw, bared fangs, and expressive eyes, were associated with the function of warding off evil spirits and protecting the space where the sculpture was placed. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
