Balinese Portrait Bust of a Male Head, early C20th
Balinese hardwood Portrait Bust depicting the head a young man wearing traditional headdress. Figures of this type were made in Indonesia on the island of Bali and are sometimes found in pairs of a man and a lady, giving rise to the suggestion that they were wedding sculptures. Dating is usually ascribed to the early 1900s and this piece would then reflect the interest in ethnic art which was quite widespread at that time.Size: | 15.5cm x 13 cm |
