Singa (mythology)
Singa is an Apotropaic magic, apotropaic figure from the Batak mythology, mythology of the Batak (Indonesia), Batak people of North Sumatra, Indonesia.

It is variedly represented, but always has an elongated face, with big bulging eyes, a well-defined nose, and long spiralling beard. It is often represented only with its head, but sometimes it may also be represented full body. Other figures - such as other protective deity or ancestral figures - may also be represented standing or sitting on top of the head of the singa. Etymology The word singa is derived from the Sanskrit ''singa'', "lion". The Batak term ''singa'' has a predominantly magical - rather than zoological - meaning, so it does not symbolize a lion, but Nāga or ''Boru Saniang Naga'', the primeval water serpent from the Hindu-Buddhist mythology.
