Beautiful pair of traditional tribal figures made from hand-carved hardwood, presumably of Balinese or Javanese origin. Both figures – man and woman – are depicted in a seated position and wear elaborately carved, pointed headpieces with ornamental engravings. The clear, symmetrical design language and the warm brown polish give the figures a harmonious, meditative aura.
