彫刻, Celestial Maiden - 40 cm - Wood - 1970

Title: Vintage 1970 Hand-Carved Hardwood Celestial Maiden Sculpture | Colombo, Sri Lanka Description: Bring a touch of timeless elegance and exotic craftsmanship into your space with this stunning vintage sculpture. Hand-carved from dense, rich tropical hardwood during the 1970 in Colombo, Sri Lanka. This exquisite piece captures the grace and mystique of classical temple iconography. The sculpture depicts a celestial maiden or attendant, delicately holding a blooming lotus blossom—a timeless symbol of purity and beauty—while her other hand rests in a gentle gesture of blessing. This unique piece also includes two extra carved lotus flowers, adding wonderful display versatility or collectible completeness. Every detail tells a story of skilled artisan heritage rooted in traditional Sri Lankan workshops, from her elaborate traditional jewelry and textured beaded necklace to the intricate, flowing folds of her drapery and traditional topknot hairstyle. Rich with a deep, natural dark patina and showing honest character lines that speak to its authentic mid-century origins, this statement piece adds warmth, history, and soulful artistry to any shelf, mantel, or tabletop vignette. Origin: Colombo, Sri Lanka (1970) Includes: The main sculpture plus two additional carved wooden lotus flowers Condition: Beautiful vintage condition with a warm patina and natural wood aging fissures consistent with genuine tropical hardwood from the era. Please review all photos for exact details, as they are part of the description.
