ketac - Sasak - Indonésie (Sans prix de réserve)

Un distinctive handcrafted lidded vessel, likely made on Lombok Island, Indonesia, combinant une substantial dark wooden lower body with an intricately woven ketak/rattan upper section and lid.

The piece has a strong sculptural presence, with a rounded bowl-shaped base, tightly worked woven collar and a carved floral-style wooden finial to the lid. The contrast between the smooth dark wood and the finely woven natural material gives it a particularly attractive decorative quality.

This type of mixed wood-and-ketak construction is associated with traditional Lombok basketry and decorative craft. The piece is both functional and highly decorative, suitable for display in an eclectic, ethnographic, rustic or contemporary interior.
