Twee Balinese houtsnijwerken art deco stijl - Statue...

Two stunning Balinese Art Deco woodcarvings, characterized by their extremely elongated proportions and elegant, flowing lines. This specific modernist style developed in Bali from the 1930s under the influence of Western artists and flourished particularly in the mid-20th century. Bali, Indonesia circa 1960 Features of the sculptures • Style and Form: The figures have the typical slender, stretched silhouettes and almond-shaped faces with a serene expression. • Representation: Both statues depict a stylized figure (perhaps a goddess such as Dewi Sri or a graceful dancer) with a finely carved bird (such as a heron or a paradise bird) perched on top of the head or incorporated into the coiffure. • Material: They are hand-carved from solid, fine-grained wood with a warm, natural patina (often native species such as suar wood, satinwood or panggal buaya). Dimensions: listed with the photos. Condition: in good condition, on the second figure one wing of the bird is slightly damaged. See photos. Photos are part of the description. These were taken under artificial light; the color may vary. Mood impressions are shown. They are well packed and shipped by registered mail. Jiljes where quality and service come first!
