Material & Craftsmanship Analysis
Solid Teak Wood: Each sculpture is entirely carved from a single solid block of old tropical teak wood (Tectona grandis), known for its durability, high density, and beautiful natural grain.
Original Atelier Marking: On the underside, there is the original handwritten graphite marking "27", which was used to mark the individual sculptures as a cohesive family during production.
Natural Patina: The surface possesses a warm, rich wood color, developed through years of natural aging, beautifully accentuating the expressive wood structure.
Authentic Construction: The undersides show the original wood grain and are completely free of modern fillers, synthetic resins, or restorations, thus fully preserving the original material quality.
