Large Antique Southeast Asian Thai Carved Polychrome Rabbit Folk Art Sculpture

About the Item

A large whimsical hand carved and painted antique Southeast Asian wooden hare sculpture with incised detailing, polychrome decoration and beautifully aged patina. Hand-crafted in the early 20th century, most likely originally commissioned as an architectural ornament from a Buddhist temple in Thailand, Indonesia, or Bali. We were immediately drawn to this charming figural rabbit statue, modeled in a reclining posture, head lifted up, ears back and a large tail, having hand painted polychrome decoration, featuring red, green and yellow highlights, that stands out beautifully on the dark blue ground. Hollowed space on bottom, we believe this was originally an architectural element mounted atop a post. With its contrasting colors and lively attitude, this wonderful example will make for a great decorative addition to any home or children's bedroom, sure to add whimsical elegance, rustic warmth, and rich cultural interest! Provenance / Acquisition: Personal property of Genshiro Kawamoto. A Japanese real estate billionaire and avid art collector who owned numerous multi-million dollar propertys in Hawaii and was building one of the most expensive homes in Hawaii at the time of his tax evasion arrest and subsequent deportation. Prior to his purchase, we were told the carving was prominently displayed in a Maui hotel lobby. We acquired it from a well known antiques dealer and shop owner in Maui, Hawaii in 2020.
