Bali Hindu Textile Framed 'Kamasan' Painting, Indonesia C. 1940
About the Item
This captivating Balinese Kamasan textile painting showcases the distinctive style rooted in the classical Wayang tradition, unfolding a mythic tableau rich with symbolism and storytelling. Dominating the composition is a majestic Naga, the sacred dragon-serpent of Hindu and Balinese mythology, its sinuous form weaving dynamically through the center of the textile like a living river of divine power. The Naga's body glistens with age-softened shades of deep oceanic blue, a color palette that evokes the endless depths and mysteries of the sea — the cosmic waters from which all life emerges. Surrounding the Naga are finely rendered figures from Hindu epics, including gods, sages, warriors, and celestial animals, each depicted with intricate linework and expressive, stylized gestures. Scenes of cosmic battles and divine counsel unfold across the surface, capturing the eternal dance of dharma and chaos. The characters are portrayed with signature Kamasan precision: flat, narrative compositions with delicate black outlines and ornamental detailing. Time has left its mark on the textile — the pigments have softened and faded with grace, lending the artwork a sense of history and reverence. Earthy ochres, muted reds, and burnished browns mingle with the blues, anchoring the celestial narrative in the fertile soil of Bali. This harmonious blend of natural tones and mythic imagery creates a sense of timeless wonder — a sacred scroll whispering stories from another realm.
