8.5 inch 21.50 cm Balinese Ebony Wood Carving Vishnu Being Carried by Garuda Bali Art, Bali, 20 th century Item Description: Balinese artifact Measurement: (Depth: 3” inches 7.62 cm) (Width: 5” inches 12.07 cm ) (Height: 8.5” inches 21.59 cm ) This is an ornately carved figure of Vishnu riding Garuda. They stand ontop of a lotus flower. The fully rendered tail feathers flow over backwards on this manifestation. This classic bali hardwood carving is in near perfect condition t is only one small imperfection and that is one of the tail feathers is missing the very tip and I only noticed it while I have it under close scrunity. This is a devtional figure and as such is evident in the missing patina at the highlighted spots nose and elbows. It is near impossible to find an absoutely perfect wood carving due to the nature of the material. This particular carving is made out of ebony (Eben), this is determined by its density and color, this is true ebony and is not an imitation. This is a classic composition rendered in the formal manner and dates to the 1950’s. We collected this many years ago and have quite a number of Balinese carvings of all types and styles. I have included a group photograph of this style of hardwood carvings with a natural finish. Please see photos for the condition and composition of Vishnu carried by Garuda.
