The Craft Hotel Ubud

Object No. WOO-015
Hand-Carved Ornate Pig Sculpture
Physical Description:

A stout, hand-carved wooden sculpture of a pig, shaped with the traditional Ukir technique to feature a robust, rounded body and a distinctive, slightly upturned snout. This piece, a signature export design from the 1990s, is characterized by its extensive surface ornamentation, featuring deep-etched scrollwork and elegant leafy vines that wrap around the flanks and haunches. The sculpture is finished in a rich, weathered magenta-plum wash, with the carved relief patterns highlighted in a contrasting antique cream to emphasize the rhythmic, organic flow of the floral motifs. The combination of its solid, earth-bound silhouette and the delicate, hand-painted details reflects a charming folk-art aesthetic that celebrates the playful yet sophisticated woodcarving heritage of local artisans.
