Hand-Carved Balinese Folk Art Skater A Display of Skill & Movement Catching Air

​This vintage hand-carved wooden figure of a skater is a masterful, spirited piece of Balinese Folk Art. Dating to the mid-20th century (1950s-1970s estimate), this figure is captured in a dynamic pose, leaning aggressively as if “catching air” on his wooden board. ​The remarkable skill of the artisan shines in the figure's precarious balance, achieved despite the lean, making it an impressive display. Crafted from dark, rich wood, the piece has an expressive face and features a simple jute skirt; its matching string hair is brittle due to age and handling. This item is in good used condition. It measures approximately 6.5 inches tall, 6.5 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. ​Bring the compelling, unique energy of handcrafted Tiki or tribal decor into your space.
