Product description
Large Polychrome Balinese Woodcarving – Mythological Rishi (Sage) This impressive, hand-carved statue, 54 cm high, is a magnificent example of Balinese craftsmanship from the mid-20th century (circa 1950). It depicts a Rishi, a mythological sage or spiritual teacher, exuding a powerful and protective presence. Refined Craftsmanship & Symbolism The statue is crafted from solid tropical hardwood and decorated with rich polychrome painting in traditional earth tones, accented with gold leaf. Particularly striking is the extremely detailed carving: from the finely sculpted beard and expressive facial features to the floral motifs on the back of the clothing and the characteristic diamond pattern on the sarong. Condition & Authenticity This object dates from the period when Balinese art enjoyed great international appreciation due to the unparalleled quality of its carving. The statue is in excellent vintage condition with an authentic patina that enhances its historical character. A unique collector's item for lovers of high-quality Indonesian art.
