Monumental Hand-Carved Cobra Sculpture, Indonesian, 1950 A substantial mid-20th-century Indonesian wooden cobra sculpture, distinguished by its fully expanded hood, coiled base and extensive hand-worked surface decoration. The strong vertical silhouette and detailed incised textures give the piece considerable decorative presence, while the cobra subject connects it with the long-standing role of serpent imagery in South and Southeast Asian visual culture. The sculpture remains in presentable vintage condition with age-related surface wear, variations in tone and small marks consistent with its age and hand-carved construction. The photographs provide the most accurate record of the condition and carved details. It will be shipped exactly as shown in the photographs, so please examine all images carefully. The combination of Indonesian origin, 1950s dating, substantial size and extensive hand-carved detailing gives this cobra stronger decorative and collecting interest than smaller or more simply executed serpent carvings. The expanded hood and upright pose also provide an architectural sculptural quality that works particularly well in eclectic, ethnographic-inspired and mid-century interiors. Dimensions: approximately 41.5 cm high x 25 cm wide x 16 cm deep.
