This pair of hand carved wooden figures represents folk art traditions from Southeast Asia. The whitewashed example, likely of Indonesian origin, appears to have functioned as a finial or component of a larger sculptural or architectural ensemble. The darker, flat-backed figure, possibly from Cambodia or Thailand, was likely affixed to the fascia or exterior of a wooden structure. Both carvings show surface wear, minor losses, and patination consistent with age and long-term exposure.
Size:
11.25”H x 2.25”W x 1.75”D (white washed figure)
10.5”H x 2.25”W x 1.5”D (dark wood figure)
