[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4257797, member: 2844"]Just a short look, yes, he is Balinese, and charming. A later version of my 'ribbon boy': [URL]https://www.antiquers.com/threads/bali-art-deco-thread.30201/page-4#post-825712[/URL] Balinese art is not tribal, btw, there are no tribes on Bali.:) Most Balinese are of mixed Sundanese and non-Sundanese origin, the result of many migrations in the region, both voluntary and involuntary. Even the indigenous Bali Aga people are not considered tribal, just indigenous. Balinese carvings like yours are made by people who have a cultural link with the Medieval East Javanese Majapahit empire, which ruled a large part of Southeast Asia and even coastal western New Guinea.[/QUOTE]
