Houten beeld van een panter, gemaakt op Bali
1950-1970
Good example for a correct wood choice by the carver. By choosing pallissander wood, with its distinctive flamed pattern, it resembles the outerskin of the panter.
A carving full of expression!

Sitting woman with mirror. Woodcarving from Bali, prewar
1930-1940
Impressive tall statue from the Pita Maha period(1928-1942). Striking elements are the beautiful deco lines that run downwards, and the vegetation-leave-motif on her head scarf. Copying is a normal and accepted thing in Bali, but for a copy you need the orginal. For all the ladies with mirror-carvings, this is probably the preferred original. Each photo can be enlarged two times by clicking on the image.
