Rama & Sinta Balinese Myth Demon Wood Carving Art Lamp Stand 23"
From Bali and is carved from sono wood with dark grain and dense grain.
Looks like the subject is the Ramayana story of Rama & Sinta.
Many characters in various theractic positions.
There's a lot to absorb and find myself staring and seeing one face blend into another.
The back is mostly carved vines, leaves.
Carved from the hollow tree trunk of Sono Wood
This was probably made to be a table lamp
The photos and some dust do not do this amazing sculpture any justice.
It is really amazing in person. You will receive the exact carving you see here.
Usually carving like this are made in Mas village, which is well known for the wood carvers there.
I am guessing from the 1980's based on the style of carving and wood used.
Weighs 9 Pounds
9" Wide
Somewhat dusty and could use some wood treatment.
I blew off a lot of dust using the shop air compressor. I find no cracks or damage.
