AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A traditional Balinese wooden figurine of a dancer.
The figurine probably depicts the famous Balinese dancer and choreographer I Ketut Marya, better known as I Mario, the creator of the kebyar duduk dance style.
Kebyar means 'flash' or 'eruption' in Balinese and refers to the dynamic and sudden changes in volume and tempo in the accompanying music.
The dance, created in the 1920s, caused a sensation in Bali and involves a sitting squatting position, as shown in the image.
Balinese woodcarving, locally known as 'batuan', is an ancient craft with roots in the Hindu-Buddhist culture of the island.
