AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Large hand-carved Balinese wooden sculpture by I Wayan Limis (Mas, Bali, woodcarver and former freedom fighter). Organic portrayal of two interwoven figures, carved from solid tropical wood. Signed. Height 130 cm. Very decorative and well-crafted. Organic, flowing lines, human figures blending into one another, symbolism, a combination of traditional Balinese visual language and modern sculpture, strong emphasis on form and movement.
On the front, centered, a small ornament or medallion with a Balinese motif. This is typical for works from Mas (Gianyar), where woodcarvers often incorporate a small symbolic element as a reference to protection, spirituality, or ancestry.
