Old Timor Shaman fertility Charm Figure

This rare Old Timor Shaman Fertility Charm Figure is intricately carved from bone, a material imbued with symbolic significance in Timorese spiritual traditions. The figure depicts a child, representing fertility, new life, and the continuity of lineage. Bone, often considered a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, was used to enhance the charm’s mystical potency.

The child figure is stylized, with exaggerated features such as a rounded head and prominent limbs, emphasizing its role as a symbol of vitality and the promise of future generations. Delicate carvings adorn the surface, including geometric patterns and flowing lines that may represent natural elements, growth cycles, or spiritual connections.

This charm was likely used in fertility rituals by shamans, who invoked ancestral spirits and protective forces to bless individuals or families with children. Its portability allowed it to be carried or displayed as a personal talisman, providing ongoing spiritual protection and encouragement for fertility.

Over time, the bone has acquired a rich, aged patina, adding depth to its texture and highlighting its historical and cultural significance. This charm embodies the artistry and profound spiritual beliefs of the Timorese people, serving as both a sacred object and a striking artifact of their cultural heritage.
