Vintage Balinese Wood Carving Old Man with Fighting Cocks in Cage 1950s Bali. VINTAGE BALINESE WOOD CARVING CIRCA 1950s/60s ERA THE CARVING FEATURES AN OLD BALINESE MAN WITH HIS FIGHTING COCKS AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. HE IS SQUATTING AND FEEDING ONE COCK INSIDE THE CAGE WHILE HOLDING ANOTHER COCK SITTING ON TOP OF THE CAGE. THE SCULPTURE HAS BEEN CARVED FROM ONE PIECE OF WOOD AND WOULD HAVE TAKEN A GREAT MANY HOURS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE INTRICATE CARVING OF THE CAGE AND THE BIRD INSIDE IT. THE CARVER HAS ALSO CAPTURED A LOT OF CHARACTER WITH THE WIZENED AND LEAN FEATURES ON THE FACE AND BODY OF THE OLD BALINESE VILLAGER. THE TOP OF HIS RIGHT EAR IS SLIGHTLY MISHAPED AND IT IS UNSURE WHETHER THIS WAS MEANT BY THE CARVING OR IT GOT A TINY CHIP AT SOME LATER STAGE. (SEE LAST 2 PICS FOR REFERENCE). HEIGHT OF CARVING IS 20CM AND BASE WIDTH IS 19CM. The item “Vintage Balinese Wood Carving Old Man with Fighting Cocks in Cage 1950s Bali” is in sale since Thursday, August 15, 2019.
