A hand-carved wooden sculpture depicting a stylized tropical fish, characterized by a tall, flattened ovoid body and sharp, minimalist fins. The figure is finished in a dense obsidian black tone, serving as a dark canvas for a series of rhythmic, hand-painted golden spirals that are distributed across the flanks like abstract scales. These ochre-colored circles add a kinetic, graphic energy to the piece, reflecting the bold, high-contrast aesthetics often found in Balinese decorative export art. Supported by a slender metal rod atop a solid, rectangular charcoal-colored base, the sculpture emphasizes verticality and clean, architectural lines while celebrating the traditional Ukir skill of shaping organic forms into modern, spirited accents.
