Balinese, Batuan Hand Carved Cockfight Painting Sculpture by Ida Bagus Made Raka

About the Item

Museum quality carved wall panel in wooden frame. Cockfights are a popular kind of local entertainment in Bali. They are often held as cleansing ceremonies to purify a village of evil magic influences. A cockfight is also seen as a sport, sometimes with (heavy) betting on the side and with the fights often ending in death. However, this serene work of art displays none of that violence. This contradiction makes this rare work of art extra special and desirable. This work of art is marked 'Ida. Bg. Md. Raka, Batuan'. Ida Bagus Made Raka (1918-1976) of Batuan, Indonesia is a famous painter who only occasionally made wood carvings. His paintings are very rare and highly sought after by collectors around the world. There also is a round stamp on the back. This official stamp says and guarantees that this work of art was legally exported out of Bali, Indonesia.
