Bust of a typical Javanese woman in the Dutch Indies-era.
One of the best Indonesian busts I've ever seen. Remarkable features and strong rendering of the hair. Made by a mastercarver. Whether this bust was made in Java or Bali is unclear. Sometimes these busts were made for local people to serve as a marriage present. Usually there is a male bust with it(loro blonyo).
