๐ Size: H 62cm ร L 25cm ร W 18cm
This Rangda sculpture, carved from jackfruit wood, embodies the fearsome energy of Rangda, the queen of leyaks, a powerful figure in Balinese mythology. As the eternal antagonist of Barong, Rangda represents destruction, transformation, and the raw force of nature, often associated with both chaos and spiritual awakening. Her intense expression and elaborate detailing reflect the depth of Balinese artistic mastery.
Carved in the late 20th century, this piece showcases the fine grain, durability, and golden patina of jackfruit wood, a favored material for sacred sculptures. Balinese artisans of this era continued to refine their craft, merging traditional storytelling with intricate carving techniques. This sculpture is a striking representation of Baliโs rich spiritual heritage and exceptional woodcarving tradition.
