Traditional Indonesian decorative bird made of wood on a base, featuring a crest and rounded wings. Bird dimensions: Total height 24cm; Length: 25cm; Width: 16cm. Base dimensions: Height: 14cm; Foot 4x8cm. Weight: 0.25kg. Wooden bird sculpture, presented on a black metal base. Indonesian origin. Stylised figure, resting on a metal rod fixed to a rectangular base. The wood surface is patinated, with shades of polychromy. Clean, minimalist geometric sculptural style. Some areas reveal the wood grain and irregularities related to handcrafted work. This type of object is common in Indonesian craftsmanship, where animal representations hold significant importance in domestic and decorative items. The bird, in particular, is associated with notions of freedom, movement between worlds, and as a messenger between the visible and the invisible. In an interior context, this type of sculpture is used as a decorative element, placed on a console, shelf, or table, bringing a light and vertical presence. Beyond its ornamental use, the object can be seen as a symbol of movement, balance, and connection with nature, echoing animist beliefs still present in some regions of Indonesia, where animal forms contribute to the representation of vital forces.
