Wooden bust of a white boy made by a Balinese woodcarver. |
|
1950-1970 |
Remarkable bust, made of heavy wood, and most likely carved as a result of a special request from the parents.
On Bali most of the visiting tourists wanted to take home a souvenir. Many chose a woodcarving, and busts, especially djanger busts, were very popular.
This young boy does not fit in the above mentioned category.
The gifted carver paid a lot of attention to details, and maybe the parents chose this carver for his bust-making reputation.
