On offer is a stunning hand-carved Balinese hardwood sculpture depicting a pair of romantic lovers, beautifully intertwined in an intimate nose-to-nose embrace. A powerful symbol of love, unity, and craftsmanship, this mid-20th century carving is a fine example of traditional Indonesian woodcarving art, known for its flowing forms and expressive design.

This captivating sculpture is carved from a dense tropical hardwood—most likely Indonesian rosewood or suar wood—renowned for its rich colour variation and smooth polish. The craftsmanship is extraordinary, with fine attention to stylized facial features, gracefully exaggerated profiles, and delicately carved hair and adornments, including a charming flower tucked into the woman’s hair. The couple’s arms are entwined beneath them, forming a single unified structure that gives the piece both aesthetic harmony and structural strength.

These types of carvings are rooted in Balinese artistic tradition, where human figures are often represented in flowing, exaggerated, and emotional forms. While often mistaken for African or even Māori art, the expressive detail and sensual posture are particularly indicative of Balinese romantic figurative sculpture, created primarily for both local homes and Western export markets during the 20th century.
