The carving is particularly meticulous, with numerous engraved details on the clothing; the face is delicate and elegant. Vintage, from the second half of the 20th century, 1960s to 1980s. Signed under the base "Toko Kota Oeda Djakarta Panakus Bali" (to the extent that it is legible).

Height 55cm, base diameter 13cm, maximum width 15cm, and maximum depth 10cm. Very good overall condition, the wood is glossy and rich. There are, however, three small chips on the headdress, one of which is more noticeable, as well as a slight chip on a leaf of the base at the back and a small one at the front; the overall effect remains discreet and harmonious. Approximately 1.5 to 2kg. See less
