Located in the mountainous highlands of northern Sumatra, the Batak are one of the largest indigenous groups in Indonesia. They are divided into six groups, the Toba, Pak Pak/Dairi, Karo, Angkola, Mandailing, and Simalungun, and have an estimated total population of 3 million. The most powerful members of a Batak community are ritual specialists, known as datu. They are experts in religion, and are most often members of the village’s founding family. These specialists, who are exclusively male, are able to cure the sick, contact the spirits of the dead, and predict auspicious days for particular events.

A datu‘s most important possession is his ritual staff, made of special wood that symbolizes the tree of life. Since a specialist is required to create his own staff, they vary widely in style, size and form. The simplest type of ritual staff, tungkot malehat (“smooth staff”), has a single wooden or metal figure attached to the top end of the shaft. Specialists “animate” or activate the power of the figures by filling them with a magical potion, known as pupuk. This substance is considered to be extremely powerful. The tunggal panaluan is another variation of the ritual staff carved with human and animal figures arranged above each other. Animals found depicted in the tunggal panaluan include snakes, dragons, geckos, and water buffaloes.
