• Lot Description
  Balinese carved wood relief panel, most likely crafted from suar or hibiscus wood, showcasing the extraordinary tradition of Indonesian decorative carving for which Bali is renowned. The deeply carved, nearly three-dimensional composition depicts two central divine or royal figures — likely from the Hindu epic the Ramayana or Mahabharata — adorned in elaborate traditional Balinese court regalia including layered headdresses, intricate jewelry, and ornamental garments, their poses graceful and dynamic in the manner of classical Balinese dance. A third smaller figure crouches at lower left in a reverential or narrative posture, while a beautifully rendered deer reclines at the foreground, possibly referencing the golden deer episode from the Ramayana in which the demon Maricha transforms to lure Sita away from Rama. The entire background is filled with an astonishing density of carved tropical flora — palm trees with individually rendered fronds, hanging wisteria-like blossoms, broad-leafed foliage, and gnarled branches.
