Old Bali priest (pedanda) with staff. Antique coloured woodcarving, for 1915 |
|
1880-1915 |
The Tropen Museum in Amsterdam has several of these old pedanda carvings. The staff is typical for these times.
Because there were almost no tourists in early 20th century, this statue was made for decoration purposes for the village community. Probably for a temple or bale bale.
The paint used on this carving is gold-paint.
