A hand-carved wooden sculpture of a hen depicted in a resting, nested position, meticulously shaped using the traditional Ukir technique to create a smooth, rounded form. The body is finished in a dense obsidian black, serving as a high-contrast foundation for a rhythmic arrangement of stark white, elongated Titik (dotted) brushstrokes that simulate the dense, layered texture of feathers. A vibrant crimson comb sits atop the head, while the beak is rendered in a warm terracotta orange, providing bright focal points against the monochromatic plumage. This piece reflects a charming folk-art aesthetic, blending anatomical simplicity with disciplined, repetitive hand-painting to capture the spirited character of domestic Balinese poultry.
