Singa (mythology)
Singa is an apotropaic figure from the mythology of the Batak people of North Sumatra, Indonesia. The singa represents a benevolent and protective power. The singa is described as "part human, part water buffalo, and part crocodile or lizard". 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.〔Sibeth 1991: 119, 122〕
==Etymology==
The word singa is derived from the Sanskrit ''singa'', "lion". The Batak term of ''singa'' has a predominantly magical, rather than zoological, so singa does not symbolize a lion. Instead, the singa represents the Nāga or ''Boru Saniang Naga'', the primeval water serpent from the Hindu-Buddhist mythology. It is not fully understood why the name ''singa'' is attributed to this figure.
