Sandelwood Ganesha in Old style! These days sandelwood statues cost easy 1000,- dollar in Bali and then you dont have this quality! The carvers who can make this getting extinct you can not make this with hammer and chisels its needs special skills and tools... This is a high quality top carving because sandelwood carvings are always made with centre wood and its age its natural it has some light almost invisable hair cracks. Rare chance for sandelwood collectors! Sold by Roland Smeets, Balinese woodcarving collector and seller of Balinese quality woodcarvings, expert and author of the book Understanding Balinese Woodcarvings wich reveals the tales and stories behind the statues. With 300 statues and more then 600 photographs, this 3,7Kg heavy book is a must have for collectors, experts and museums. I live in Algarve Portugal mostly, so pick up or shipping is from Portugal! #ttapr #parisapartment
