[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 804489, member: 2844"]Beautiful. It is from Bali, Indonesia. Judging from the kind of gold paint used, I'd say at least mid-century. It is difficult to see if the other paint has been 'antiqued' with shoe polish, something some carvers/painters did in the 1950s. If it has aged naturally it could be older. These carvings were often kept outside on patios, so exposed to the elements. Either way, it is a quality piece. It could be a duck, like this Balinese late Art Deco courting couple: [ATTACH=full]191838[/ATTACH] [URL]https://www.art-from-bali.com/details_eng.aspx?produkt-id=506[/URL] Does it like bananas?:playful: (Pisang in Indonesian)[/QUOTE]
