DAYAK RICE PADDY PROTECTORS
Wood, mounted on custom wooden bases
“Reminiscent of German expressionism; these rice protectors have a stark and intriguing quality. One figure has a wonderful heart shaped face with an elongated body; the other has a projecting head with a more tightly carved body. Both have good use of negative space in their torsos and they each exhibit a patina from decades of outdoor use. The peg extensions have been eroded away with time; but the ancestral images remain in great condition.”
– Bruce Frank
