An antique temple statue carved and hand-painted in Indonesia in the early 20th century. This wooden statue shows an Indonesian dancing character. His dynamism is enhanced by his flying scarves and by his posture. The character wears black adorned clothes with fringes on its legs, and a traditional headdress. The clothes and the face are painted with many details including gold and red colors among others. The statue is quite flat and the back is finished with dark red painting. This early 20th-century Indonesian hand-carved and hand-painted statue once took place in a temple; now it would be an enjoyable decorative item in any home, perhaps in a living room where its lively aspect would please any guest.
