Art from Indonesia's Islands

Islands included in the sale stem from Bali, Java, Sumba, Timor, Flores, New Guinea, Nias, and Nusa Penida. The collection includes kris handles from Bali and Java made of silver, bronze or wood and spiritual figures carved from wood or stone. The collection has been carefully chosen from over two decades of dealing antiques for a private collection. Patina, which is a surface sheen developed over time and or by frequent handling, is the emphasized characteristic in determining the age and usage of the pieces in this catagory.

For a description and picture of some of our pieces view the slideshow to the right.
