Description from the seller
Beautiful, vintage modernist sculpture of a slender Balinese female figure, dating from the mid-20th century (Mid-Century Modern). This stylized and elegantly elongated piece is hand-carved from high-quality tropical hardwood and mounted on a metal pin with a round, dark-coloured wooden base. The underside is finished with felt to protect your furniture.
**Important condition report (Dry crack):**
Please note that the sculpture at the rear (back/shoulder) has a clear, vertical dry crack (shrinkage crack) in the wood. This is a natural process of tropical hardwood due to aging and drying. This crack is purely cosmetic and does not affect the stability or sturdiness of the artwork. Additionally there is minor paint wear on the black-painted hair at the top of the head. See all detail photos for an accurate view of the current condition.
