An impressive early 20th-century Balinese carved female figure, crafted from dense tropical hardwood and standing approximately 150 cm tall. The piece features the authentic, hand-chiseled "MAS BALI" signature in capital letters on the base, certifying its origin from the legendary village of Mas, the undisputed historical capital of elite woodcarving in Bali. Historical and Artistic Context With the founding of the Pita Maha art movement, Western artists introduced concepts from the European art market as well as Art Deco aesthetic sensibilities—elements that local master carvers from Mas masterfully blended with their own traditions.

The entire surface is richly adorned with hand-carved ornamental motifs, including floral and geometric designs, finely incised textile patterns, jewelry details, and carefully modeled hair.
