Hand Carved Wood Praying Frog Sculpture - This hand-carved hardwood sculpture depicts a frog in an upright, anthropomorphic pose with its front limbs pressed together at the chest in a praying gesture. The figure is carved from a single block of medium-toned wood, likely Suar wood, featuring a prominent natural grain throughout. It stands on an integral, rounded, mound-like base. The surface is polished to a smooth, satin finish. The underside remains unfinished, showing the raw wood grain, and lacks any visible maker marks, labels, or signatures. This style of carving is characteristic of folk art produced in Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia. Height: 8.75 inches Base Width: 5.5 inches.
