Used by priest as a bottle stopper for holy water. Its carved in the form of a Rooster in high quality, the rooster is very important in Balinese culture cock fights etc. This Rooster form is a typical traditional old form used in the old days, these day you can use them also on your wine bottle. Sold by Roland Smeets, woodcarving collector and seller of Balinese quality woodcarvings, expert and author of the book Understanding Balinese Woodcarvings which 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 mostly so shipping is from Portugal
