About the Item

This exceptional Balinese dense hardwood figure is an amazing sculpture, hand-carved from a single piece of wood with incredible skill. This work is very similar to a good Japanese ivory piece in its carved detail. The figure depicts a local Bali fisherman working in shallow water. His one foot is below the swirling waterline, whilst the other is raised onto a rock. He is concentrating and drawing in a weighted net with at least two trapped fish. The net is an amazing piece of work cut from a solid piece of wood, leaving only woven platted cords of the net, each piece only a millimetre in thickness. The man is semi-naked with a fish basket tied to his waist and wearing only a loincloth and a woven hat. The details of his characterful face, hand and feet are outstanding, as are the details of his muscles and ribcage showing through his tense torso. This fine carving is not to be mistaken for the normal excellent quality carvings from these Indonesian islands. This piece has been produced by a master carver and is superb. This fantastic carving is in excellent condition and would be considered a one off piece of collectable art Balinese, circa 1900 Height 40cm x width 18cm x depth 12cm

Late 19th Century Japanese Carved Hardwood Okimono of a Man, circa 1890
Located in Central England, GB
Late 19th C Japanese carved hardwood okimono of a man, circa 1890 This top quality and most impressive large scale Japanese carved hardwood okimono superbly depicts a characterful study of a delightfully crafty looking man. He is dressed simply in a robe. On his back, he has a rolled woven mat for resting and a turtle shell sun hat hangs below. On his side hanging from his waist sash, there is a simple hand fan made from woven palm leaves and around his neck, he is wearing a string of very large beads. This unfortunate character is on a journey and he seems to have lost or broken one sandal. His foot is sore and he is resting it on his gnarly walking stick. He has one arm outstretched and is holding out a large piece of fresh fruit as an offering perhaps to barter for new sandals...
