Product description
Add a powerful piece of Javanese mysticism to your interior with this hand-cast bronze statue of Semar, the most revered spiritual figure in Indonesian tradition. This early 20th-century object (c. 1920) combines historical value with deep symbolism. Significance: The Master of Harmony and Protection In Javanese mythology, Semar is a divine being in humble guise. He serves as the ultimate spiritual advisor and symbolizes protection against unrest and the preservation of inner balance. Traditionally, a Semar statue is placed in the living space to ward off conflict and transform fear into steadfastness. The staff in his hand marks his role as a guide through life's complexities. Craftsmanship & Provenance This piece is crafted from solid cast bronze and exhibits a superior patina with natural green oxidation (verdigris), accumulated over almost a century. The richly decorated halo and characteristic facial features indicate craftsmanship in a traditional Javanese workshop between 1920 and 1940. The rough texture on the reverse confirms the authentic sand-casting method.
