This wood is known for its extreme hardness and the beautiful, characteristic black-brown flame pattern. A trunk of this size can no longer be found today, making this object an irreplaceable collector's item. There is currently no second example known on the market of this size and quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap\"\u003eCraftsmanship: The statue is a tribute to the heyday of Balinese craftsmanship (Pita Maha period, ca. 1930-1950). The central figure is surrounded by extremely refined, openwork ajour carving of floral tendrils and mythological motifs. The serene facial expression and elegant posture bear witness to a master carver of the top class (Maas region).\n\nThe statue rests on an imposing, separate pedestal 20 cm high, which is also richly decorated and crafted from the same heavy wood. The statue stands stably even without the pedestal, demonstrating the perfect balance in the design.\n\nCondition \u0026 Provenance: This object has a documented history and was already traded at a renowned Belgian auction in the 1970s. Given its age of approximately 100 years, the wood exhibits characteristic shrinkage cracks here and there. This is a completely natural process for solid Coromandel of this size and age; it proves the authenticity of the antique wood. Some of these cracks have been expertly filled in the past, ensuring the sculpture is now fully finished and stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap\"\u003eHeight: 137 cm (incl. base)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap\"\u003eMaterial: Coromandel \/ Macassar Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap\"\u003eWeight: Very heavy (solid heartwood)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap\"\u003eStyle: Balinese Modernism \/ Pita Maha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap\"\u003eSpecial features: Unique size, including richly carved separate base.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1stbuddha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56986923434315,"sku":null,"price":2499.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/6170\/5547\/files\/balinese-coromandel-wood-sculpture-full-view.jpg?v=1775730041"},{"product_id":"loro","title":"Loro Blonyo Javanese Wedding Couple","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-description\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLoro Blonyo: A Masterful Javanese Wedding Couple\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEnrich your interior with the mystical and serene beauty of this hand-carved Javanese Loro Blonyo set.

Vishnu is regarded as the protector and preserver of order, balance, and harmony. As a result, this is not only a decorative Asian art object but also a statue with clear spiritual significance.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nThe identification as Vishnu is primarily supported by the two recognizable attributes in the upper hands: the chakra or cosmic wheel and the shankha, the sacred conch shell. Together, these refer to protection, direction, strength, and the restoration of balance. The front hands rest peacefully in the lap, allowing the statue to retain a meditative appearance despite the powerful iconography.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nThe statue is crafted from a heavy copper alloy with a silver-gray, high-tin bronze-like sheen. The dark patina, signs of wear, and distinct green oxidation on the base give the object a weathered character. The flat underside displays old traces of a former collector's or inventory label, indicating that the sculpture has been part of a collection for a considerable time.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nStylistically, this sculpture fits within the Javanese and Indonesian sculptural tradition, with references to older Majapahit influences. The square base, double lotus base, round halo, and compact solid casting give the sculpture a powerful presence despite its small size.

She is associated with harmony, protection, fertility, wisdom, compassion, and inner balance. A statue like this therefore brings not only beauty but also meaning to a garden, entrance, wellness area, hotel, or spiritual setting.\n\nAccording to family tradition, the statue has been in Europe since the 1950s and is said to have originated from a temple context in Indonesia. The natural weathering, old wear, deep stone structure, and massive construction give the statue an authentic character that modern reproductions lack.\n\nWith a height of approximately 95 cm, a width of 74 cm, and an estimated weight of about 500 kilograms, this is an exceptional statement piece. Large old stone temple statues of this size rarely appear on the market. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#8a6d3b;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c5;padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eObject\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c5;padding:8px;\"\u003eMonumental Devi temple figure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c5;padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c5;padding:8px;\"\u003eIndonesia, probably Java or Bali\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c5;padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c5;padding:8px;\"\u003eProbably 19th century\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c5;padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c5;padding:8px;\"\u003eSolid natural stone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c5;padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c5;padding:8px;\"\u003e95 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c5;padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c5;padding:8px;\"\u003e74 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c5;padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d8d1c5;padding:8px;\"\u003eApprox. 500 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"1stbuddha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57531331182923,"sku":null,"price":6800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/6170\/5547\/files\/monumentale-indonesische-tempelfiguur-natuursteen-java-bali.jpg?v=1780906982"}],"url":"https:\/\/1stbuddha.com\/collections\/indonesian-art-antiques.oembed","provider":"1stbuddha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
