Object No. WOO-004
Pointillist Sculptural Wood Bird
Physical Description:

A slender, vertically oriented wood sculpture of a stylized avian figure, captured in a graceful upward-reaching pose and mounted on a minimalist black pedestal by a metal support rod. The form is shaped using the Ukir technique, featuring a sharp, tapered beak and a decorative, notched crest that lends a regal silhouette to the piece. The surface is primarily finished in a shimmering silver-leaf wash, which serves as a luminous base for the dense, rhythmic dot-work—reminiscent of traditional Balinese Titik (dot) painting styles—adorning the wings and tail. These hand-applied patterns in crimson red and ochre yellow create a vibrant, textured contrast against the metallic body, transforming a simple forest-inspired subject into a sophisticated work of contemporary folk art.
