AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful Vintage Balinese Paradise Bird.
This stunning, hand-carved figurine from the mid-20th century (circa the 1950s/60s).
Inspired by the international Art Deco movement, this figurine is characterized by its crystal-clear, flowing lines and organic shapes. The stylized bird with its graceful, dynamic crest looks elegantly down on a subtly carved flower or fruit at the base. A wonderful interplay of abstraction and nature.
Craftsmanship at its finest: Fully handmade by a master carver (likely from the well-known art regions of Ubud or Mas in Bali).
Carved from a heavy-grade tropical hardwood. The wood has a deep, warm, dark tone with a subtle grain and is beautifully silky polished.
Condition: The sharp tip of the crest and tail are not fully intact anymore (see photos).
Insured shipping with track and trace code.
