Indonesia, Java or Bali, ca. 1920 CE. A hand-made wooden carving, likely carved from teak wood and demonstrating an exceptional level of workmanship and artistry. The composition depicts a dramatic scene from the Hindu epic Ramayana featuring Rama, prince of the Kosala Kingdom, when exiled in the forest by his father King Dasharatha upon the request of his step-mother Kaikeyi Hanuman. His ally Hanuman is depicted at the lower left and a dragon-like demon - perhaps Ravana the powerful demon king or his sister Shurpanakha, who had fallen in love with Rama and had the power to shapeshift and transform into any creature she wished, depicted at the upper left. Additional mythical creatures, flora, and fauna occupy the field. All is depicted in low to high relief, surrounded by an elaborate floral border that is integral to the piece, and painted with a rich jewel tone palette of claret red, cobalt blue, and forest green with gold leaf highlights and fine line details delineated in black. Size: 18" W x 19.375" H (45.7 cm x 49.2 cm)

#148761A few nicks and age cracks to the border. Normal surface wear with slight scuffs and pigment loss to the composition. This said, for the most part the rendering and pigmentation remain strong. Quite remarkable that this piece was so painstakingly carved from a single piece of wood - as well as beautifully embellished with pigments and gold leaf!Condition
