Vtg 1930s Bali Teak Wood Busts 13 Pair Hand-Carved Balinese Sculpture Man Woman
Bring a piece of Bali’s artistic heritage into your home with this captivating vintage pair of 13 hand-carved teak wood busts, dating from the 1930s. These stunning sculptures, representing a Balinese man and woman in traditional ceremonial attire, are a perfect showcase of the island’s legendary woodcarving craftsmanship. Both busts are masterfully carved from solid teak-a hardwood prized for its durability, rich color, and natural resistance to the elements. The female bust features intricate, flowing hair beneath an elegantly wrapped headscarf, along with softly modeled features and a detailed garment that highlight feminine grace and serenity. The male bust stands out with an elaborate court-style headdress and a ceremonial kris dagger at the back, which is a significant spiritual and cultural symbol across Indonesia-evoking power, heroism, and protection. Hallmarks of Authenticity & Age. These pieces date back to the 1930s, a period renowned for flourishing traditional arts in Bali as tourism opened up the region to collectors from around the world. The distinctive carving style suggests influence from the Klungkung region, long known for royal court artistry and refined detail. The carved bases (as shown in photos) are traditional to Balinese woodcarving and help to prevent cracking in tropical climates-a detail unique to authentic works from this era. Beautiful Patina & Condition. Decades of gentle aging have given both busts a rich, warm patina that only genuine vintage teak can achieve. The wood grain is tight and glowing; minor wear is present, entirely in keeping with their age and enhancing their story. Collectors and historians note that, during the early 20th century, high-quality Balinese busts like these were carved for travelers and patrons-blending both ceremonial symbolism and an idealized portrait of Balinese nobility. Pieces from this period are now highly sought after for their expressive detail and the connection they offer to Bali’s golden age of wood art. Material: Solid teak wood. Origin: Bali, Indonesia, c. Perfect as a striking decorative set, an authentic collectible, or a unique gift for anyone passionate about Asian or Indonesian art and culture! Please review all photos for detail and feel free to message with questions-these are genuine pieces of Balinese history, ready to bring sophistication and soul to any space.

This wood carving was discovered in a Holyoke Massachusetts estate and has been looked at by several “experts”. The carving, as seen in the photos, has a hand written tag on the bottom that reads, “Dr Seuss 1963 Not For Sale”. I have showed this piece to several different experts, one being a Museum, and they said they felt it could be attributed to Ted Seuss Geisel DR. They went on to say. It was most likely created in the 1930s when Seuss experimented with a commercial business idea that never took off. He later developed the whimsical animal images and incorporated them into his childrens book illustrations. The date on the bottom of the piece is probably an exhibition date rather than a creation date, especially given the fact that it states not for sale. Seuss became famous in the early 1960s, which may be why the exhibition was organized. ” The other “expert that looked at it said he did not feel if was attributable to Ted Geisel. The carving measures 8″ X 2 1/4″. (you be the judge). Or feel free to make me a reasonable offer. The item “1930’s TED SEUSS GEISEL ORIGINAL HAND CARVED WOOD BIRD SCULPTURE DR.
