AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A stunning human skull with a carved dragon made of deer antler which has wrapped itself onto the skull which has been hand-carved by a master wood carver out of a solid piece of tamarind wood. The bottom jaw and the head of the skull are two pieces which are attached by a small tamarind wood pin on each side so that the jaw can open and close. The teeth of the skull are made from cow bone and are meticulously carved to look as close to real as possible. The tamarind wood has a beautiful grain causing this skull to be a true eye-catcher.

Seller's Story

For over a decade, we have travelled across Indonesia to curate unique interior pieces that reflect the country’s rich craftsmanship and cultural heritage. What began as annual trips to Indonesia, a family history descendant of Dutch Indies, and a passion for handmade objects has grown into the rich collection of design objects we offer today with pride. We specialise in sourcing authentic, artisanal pieces directly from small family-owned ateliers throughout Java, Bali, Sumatra and beyond. Our collection ranges from hand-carved décor and bronze sculptures to natural-material homeware. Each item is carefully selected for its craftsmanship, character, and story. We have over 10 years of experience working closely with Indonesian artisans. Because of this, our expertise lies in identifying high-quality workmanship, natural materials, and unique pieces that stand out. Every lot we list on Catawiki is personally inspected by us and supports the local communities and traditional techniques we deeply believe in.
