[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 364307, member: 2844"]She is from Bali, Indonesia. A representation of a djanger dancer. The djanger dance was very popular in Balinese villages, mainly in the 1930s, but djanger dancers were carved longer than that. The dance was inspired by the dances of a visiting dance group from Malaysia and consisted mainly of hand and arm movements and facial expressions. It was performed by boys and girls, sitting in rows across from each other. Here is a row of djanger girls.

The rest doesn't have much detail. The wood is stained to make it look like dark hardwood. Taking away more of the crown would take away the djanger aspect, which would be a pity, imo.[/QUOTE]
