AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Stunning and elegant, elongated Balinese Art Deco woodcarving depicting a Legong Keraton dancer in a stylized, dynamic pose (in the famous Pita Maha style). The dancer is beautifully surrounded by finely carved frangipani flowers.
This high-quality sculpture is hand-carved from a single solid piece of dark-stained and waxed sono wood (sonokeling / palissander). The carving is particularly cleverly open-worked between the limbs and the slendang (the traditional scarf), which bears witness to great craftsmanship. This type of woodcarving developed in Bali as a high-quality export art under the influence of Western artists in the mid-20th century.
• Origin: Bali, Indonesia
• Dating: ca. 1960 - 1975
• Material: Solid sono wood (sonokeling), stained and waxed
• Dimensions: Height: 52 cm | Width: ca. 12 cm | Depth: ca. 10 cm
• Weight: 1.4 kg
• Condition: In very good, complete condition. No fractures, cracks or restorations. Light, age-appropriate wear of the wax on the higher-lying parts, which gives the sculpture a wonderful character. The underside is roughly sawn and inconspicuous.
