Working with crocodile wood, Nyoman Subrata of the Subrata Family creates this magnificent pair of sculptures. The statuettes depict male and female janger dancers in traditional costumes and poses. Janger dance is a popular form of social dance that originated in the 1920s in Bali. The dance is performed by a group of male dancers, or kecak, and a group of female dancers, or janger. The artisan hand paints the two sculptures in great detail as she carries on the extraordinary art work of her late father, Nyoman Subrata.
You can find our wood sculptures 'Kecak Janger Dancers' (pair) by Subrata Family in categories such as Hand Painted Sculpture and Wood Sculpture. Enjoy exploring these sections for other Novica treasures.
