This beautiful deer was completely carved on the island of Bali by a skilled Master Carver from Ubud. This work is absolutely stunning in it’s detail! The form is very elegant and graceful. It is amazing to think that the Artist only used simple hand tools to carve this from one solid chunk of mahogany! It has been hand rubbed to a deep rich smooth finish! The wood is very high quality, tight grained, smooth as satin to the touch! A great work of Balinese art!

I acquired this carving several years ago, and at that time it had already been carved for at least 5 years, so I would estimate that this was carved around 1990. The wood is stabilized and cracking will not occur as is so common in many of the recent carving coming out of Bali today.

Barong is probably the most well known dance in Bali. It is also a story telling dance, narrating the fight between good and evil. This dance is the classic example of Balinese way of acting out mythology, resulting in myth and history being blended into one reality.

The story goes that Rangda, the mother of Erlangga, the King of Bali in the tenth century, was condemned by Erlangga’s father because she practiced black magic. After she became a widow, she summoned all the evil spirits in the jungle, the layaks and the demons, to come after Erlangga. A fight occurred, but she and her black magic troops were too strong that Erlangga had to ask for the help of Barong. Barong came with Erlangga’s soldiers, and fight ensued. Rangda cast a spell that made Erlangga soldiers all want to kill themselves, pointing their poisoned keris into their own stomachs and chests. Barong cast a spell that turned their body resistant to the sharp keris. At the end, Barong won, and Rangda ran away.
