ABOUT PRODUCTID 15982
This large hand-carved elephant head, created by a Balinese artist in the 1970s, exemplifies the virtuosity of Indonesian folk woodcarving traditions. Crafted from solid, deep-toned wood verging on black, its surface reveals subtle brown undertones and lighter highlights on the more pronounced features: raised veins on the ears and subtle accents along the trunk and forehead. The tusks are rendered in a contrasting material or finished wood resembling real ivory, standing out against the matte-to-satin wooden surface. The composition is robust and substantial, with broadly spread ears flowing into distinct skin folds, and a texturally rich, dynamically twisted trunk. The carving merges anatomical fidelity with a stylized, expressive approach typical of Asian folk art—most notably in the calm, deeply set eyes and the meticulous veining and detailing along the edges. The tusks show minor traces of patina and wear, further enhancing the object's authenticity. The overall condition is excellent, with only minimal signs of time and no significant restoration, preserving the collectible value and original
