[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 357404, member: 2844"]I generally don't buy 'random' Bali Art Deco girls. My collection is mostly Gods and Goddesses, dancers and musicians. But sometimes one just takes my breath away, and this girl has 'it': [ATTACH=full]121835[/ATTACH] The Art Deco period lasted longer on Bali, from ca 1930-1970. After centuries of carving religious subjects, meeting Western artists in the 1930s encouraged the Balinese to carve everyday scenes. The girl with a hand mirror dressing her hair was one of the early favourites. This girl was carved from hibiscus wood in the late 40s. Hibiscus wood has parts with a greenish tinge. [ATTACH=full]121836[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]121837[/ATTACH] No idea how her top stays on. Being made of wood no doubt helps. Who cares, she is beautiful.
