Object No. WOO-030
Anthropomorphic Frog with Berkat Basket Sculpture
Physical Description:

A hand-carved wooden figure depicting an anthropomorphic frog in a dynamic, upright walking posture, meticulously shaped using the traditional Ukir technique. The figure carries a small, cylindrical woven-style basket on its back, reminiscent of a traditional Berkat or village carrying pack, which is rendered with a fine cross-hatched texture in a weathered sage green. The body is finished in a soft mint green gradient that transitions to a pale rose wash at the snout and throat, while the large, expressive eyes are detailed with concentric crimson and obsidian rings. Mounted on a rounded, slate-grey base that suggests a river stone, the piece exemplifies a classic late-20th-century Balinese export style, blending whimsical anatomical proportions with a gentle, hand-painted pastel palette and a focus on spirited, character-driven movement.
