Product description
This exceptional antique Balinese temple bracket (Siku-Siku) is a beautiful example of traditional woodcarving from the early 20th century. The object is crafted from a single block of solid hardwood and originally served as an architectural support element in a temple or a prominent residential house in Bali, Indonesia. Unique Iconography: The carving depicts a graceful celestial goddess (Dewi) wearing a traditional ceremonial crown (Gelungan). A very special feature of this particular piece is the acrobatic figure at the base, depicted in a dynamic, almost impossible pose – a rare motif within Balinese mythology that adds extra collectible value to this piece. Authenticity & Condition: The sculpture still retains significant remnants of the original polychrome painting in the characteristic mineral colors green and red. The aged wood grain, natural oxidation, and visible chisel marks confirm the age and authenticity of this historical artifact. Product Specifications: Origin: Bali, Indonesia (Early 20th century). Material: Solid hardwood with original polychromy. Dimensions: 56 cm height x 14.5 cm width. Weight: approx. 1.2 kg. Condition: Authentic antique condition with beautiful patina. Please note: As this is an original antique architectural fragment, signs of age and light paint wear are inherent to the historical character of the piece.
