AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This Balinese-style carved wooden statue from the 1970s depicts Saraswati, the angelic singer, riding a mythical bird and holding a musical instrument. Expressing the harmony between art, music, and dance—and the balance between strength and grace—the sculpture symbolizes the ideal union of the physical and spiritual realms, as well as divine protection over beauty, knowledge, and the arts.

The piece is carved from highly prized coromandel wood, known for its density, weight, durability, and natural beauty. Because of its hardness, this wood is especially challenging to carve, making this sculpture a high-quality hand-carved masterpiece. It is in excellent condition, with a natural patina that enhances its character and desirability for collectors.
