About this item: A wary species, the pintail duck can migrate thousands of miles every year. Nengah Sudarsana sculpts this beautiful bird from Balinese albesia wood, capturing its natural elegance. Painted by hand, the colors are applied in three luminous layers for a lifelike statuette. - Signed by the artist About our Artist: 'From an early age I loved natural things: plants, animals, birds or sea life. When I was still quite young I knew I had an ability to translate nature into artful things of beauty. Although I have no formal art training and work purely from my own inspiration and intuition, I know what looks good and what doesn't look right in a carving. I particularly want to create wildlife and other animal themes in an exact, realistic and original way.'
