This magnificent pair of wooden statues made of Rama takes the effigy of Raja and Rani - royalty to define power, customs, and royal splendor. Each figure has been carved from a full piece of wood, thereby reflecting the skill of the tribe in working with great detail and expression with very few joins in the sculptures.The figures are brightly painted in various tones, a choice that makes them appear decorated for some ceremony and occasion. The male figure Rajah stands firm on a triangular pedestal, an assurance of strength and stability. He wears a coat of green, which denotes fertility, might, and prosperity. In his right hand, he holds a sword which is a traditional object representing royal authority, protection, and justice.The female figure, Rani, stands on a triangular pedestal, wearing red cloth, which is a cultural hue of energy, marital dignity, and augury in Indian tradition. Her grace and repose complete Raja's powerful stance.
