Balinese Pita Maha sculptures are highly collectible due to their unique fusion of traditional Balinese craftsmanship and the early 20th-century Art Deco style. Originating from the Pita Maha artists’ collective, established in the 1930s under the guidance of European artists like Rudolf Bonnet and Walter Spies, these sculptures embody deeply spiritual aesthetic. They reflect Balinese mythology, culture, and everyday life, blending intricate carving techniques with streamlined, geometric forms typical of Art Deco. Today, these pieces are prized for their historical significance and artistic innovation. For more than four decades, I have dedicated myself to the discovery and preservation of tribal art with a focus on shamanic traditions of healing and divination. My collection spans cultures and regions where art serves not only as expression, but as a bridge between the material and the spiritual. Each piece embodies ritual, protection, and transformation – testaments to humanity’s enduring search for connection with the unseen. This lifelong journey has been guided by respect for the artists, the communities they come from, and the sacred knowledge their works convey. The collection continues to evolve as a living archive of spiritual craftsmanship and human belief. S it mostly takes. 4 to 10 days. Collecting tribal art is my passion, food for the soul, I have been collecting tribal art and antiques for well over 25 years, my collecting trips have taken me to many distant countries, the artifacts of interest are authentic tribal and ethnographic implements used in divination and healing. My travels have taken me to out of the way places where there are no cars or hotels, some of the remote places are only reachable by foot, so I often take long treks into the bush to find some of these rare pieces, but mostly its a question of being in the right place at the right time, my collection consists of ethnographic material from animist tribal peoples of Africa, Asia and south east Asia.

Denzil Goodpaster Carved Wood Folk Art Sculpture. 11.75″ tall x 3.5″ wide x 6 deep. Carved wood with original paint. There is nice even patina and minor wear. Signed on the bottom Denzil Goodpaster. You can see them together in a few photo’s. Denzil Goodpaster was born in the small town of Ezel, Kentucky, in 1908. He attended school through the 5th grade. Goodpaster’s grandparents came to the rolling Kentucky hills from Russia more than one hundred years ago. A misspelling of “pasture” gave the family its English name. The farm his grandfather cleared belonged to Goodpaster, and through hard work and thrift, he added 200 acres to the original plot. When he was a child, Goodpaster found that the nearest grade school was a little too long a walk. ” Since then, he reminisces, “I done nothing but raise tobacco every year of my life. I lived in this here home since just after I been born! A farmer for much of his life, in the 1970s, 2 years after he retired, a neighbor showed him a carved snake walking stick. ” Goodpaster swore to himself, “I believe I can beat the man! And he set out to do so. Goodpaster whittled with a pocketknife on cedar staves or black walnut and painted his finished canes with shiny bright enamel. He began to whittle and carve both functional and sculptural objects. Goodpaster is best known for his carved canes, but he also carved figures and animals he would have seen in his daily life. Typically painting his carved work, Goodpaster was known for his distinct, colorful style and often risqué subject matter visible on his canes including bathing nudes. His work created a standard of American folk canes that regional artists continue to aspire to today. Goodpaster made canes with alligators and snakes for handles, and even decorated some with images of cowboys, nude figures, and musicians. During the 1980s, he won fellowships from the Kentucky Arts Council and the Southern Arts Federation in Atlanta. Local pick-up is always welcomed. All packages will be insured.
