This very well-preserved, magnificent statue is made in the style of the Balinese artist Tjokot. It depicts a demon or mystical being. Tjokot's style is characterized by imaginative, expressionistic forms that are based on the natural growth of the wood. He refrains from polishing the wood in order to emphasize the rawness of the wood and its highly stylized character. These features can also be found here. It is not known whether the statue offered here can be attributed to Tjokot himself, as it (like Tjokot's own works) bears no signature. The exact age is unknown. However, I acquired the statue from a collection that contained many high-quality carvings, some of which were up to one hundred years old. The wooden base was already attached to the statue when I acquired it and is connected to the statue by a screw. Accordingly, the base plate is included in this offer. The statue comes from a non-smoking household, it is in very good condition, the wood has been cared for. Please take a close look at the photos, they are part of the offer. The item will be shipped well packed. Size: approx. 36 x 18 x 17 cm (height x width x depth) Weight: approx. 1580 grams All data including base.
