Order Nr AD0: Baris DancerOne of my museum worthy pieces you will not see soon again. A larger statue 1940s maybe 1950s. In the old days they had time and eye for details. It has holes by the ears to put plumeria flowers in, It has a loose complete keris! The carver made a complete hole for keris behind the costume in the back. And look about the details in the clothes, or the very long 7cm thin finger including a 2,5cm fingernail typical for this period... That it is a very old carving is also visible on the costume, these days a Baris costume is very exuberant while in the past the costumes were simple, same costume is on a 1940 postcard from a Baris dancer.
