Wooden statues from the mountain village Sebatoe on Bali |
|
1940-1960 |
These two small woodcarvings were not made for the tourist market but pure folk art. The Sebatoe carvings are meant to be humorous and entertaining, and are carved for fun.
The subjects are often funny observations from the daily life in a village. Often with phantasy animals and/or persons.
Although the Sebatoe carvers made them for fun, the level of artistry is high, which is clearly reflected in these two pieces.
