About the Item

Presenting a glorious early 20th century Indonesian carved wooden seated gentleman. This is Beautiful bit of ‘treen’ carved most likely in Indonesia or Cambodia or Bali circa 1920. Carved from one solid block of native hardwood it depicts a seated gentleman in traditional Indonesian attire, with his legs crossed and hands folded almost prayerlike. Lovely piece of SE Asian Folk Art. In pretty good condition for it’s age withy some minor cracking as one would expect with age and only 1 repair to the dome of his head.
