Vintage Hand-Carved Water Buffalo Horn Sculpture - Gold Dragon Etched - Folk Art
Vintage Hand-Carved Water Buffalo Horn Sculpture — Gold Dragon Etched, Folk Art
A commanding work of Southeast Asian folk craftsmanship, this mid-20th-century sculpture has been hand-carved from water buffalo horn and mounted on a natural wood base — presenting as an impressive standing piece of 70cm in length and 40cm in height. The surface is densely worked with a gold-etched dragon and village relief scene — motifs deeply rooted in the decorative traditions of the region, where horn carving reached a high point of artistry during the 1960s. The contrast between the polished black of the horn body and the warm gold of the etched decoration creates a striking visual register, with natural red and wood tones adding further depth. A genuinely handmade, one-of-a-kind object of substantial scale and remarkable carving quality, weighing 3kg and well-suited to permanent display.
