1930-1940
Price on request
Important woodcarving considering the skill required to execute this piece and the probable maker. This piece has all the characteristics of the top woodcarver I RODJA from the village of Mas, Bali. According to Rudolf Bonnet, in the 1930s member of the board of the Pita Maha, Rodja excelled in carving delicate sculptures of women. The stylish manner in which the face of the woman is carved and turned aside from the viewer, bears all the earmarks of Rodja (compare the two pieces of Rodja on the 'Top Sold' page). The provenance is the reputable Art Shop in The Hague "Da Silva". Sculptures by Rodja are rare and highly collectible.

Wooden Tintia-statue made on Bali.
1930-1940
4.250,00 EUR
High quality statue of the God "Tintia". On Bali Tintia is also known as "God of the Fertility" (hence the many fallusses that decorate the body). Tintia-carvings are rare, because they are very difficult to make. This one is made in the Art Deco style and carved in the 1930-1940 period. The Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam has a few Tintia statues. The difference is the way the base has been carved. Probably another carver cooperated with the original carver to get this beautiful result.

Birdcarving with one wing upwards and twisted neck.
1930-1940
450,00 EUR
Good well-detailed carving. Probably made in the animal-woodcarving-village Njuh Kuhning near by Ubud. Their favourite animal must have been the bird when you consider the big number of bird-carvings all around the world. Striking is the somewhat odd lightbrown varnish and the rich ornamented wings.
