Lutung Monkey Figurine made of Suar Wood, approx. 20 cm – cheeky and full of character
With its provocative gaze, furrowed brow, and clear gesture, the Lutung monkey brings a touch of Balinese wit and a clear message into your home. The approximately 20 cm tall sculpture is crafted from solid Suar wood with intricate handwork and impresses with fine details in expression, fur texture, and posture. Unlike traditional representations, this monkey symbolizes attitude, rebellion, and an honest opinion – perfect as a humorous decorative piece with character.
A Symbol of Nonconformity and Joy of Life
In Balinese culture, monkeys represent cleverness, playfulness, and serve as a mirror of human traits. The Lutung, a local species of macaque, is considered a trickster who questions societal norms. This figure captures exactly that spirit – a piece of wood with a clear statement and personality.
Traditional Craftsmanship from Suar Wood
Made from Suar wood, one of the most popular materials for Balinese carvings, the figure impresses with its natural grain and warm color nuances. Each Lutung is handcrafted exclusively by experienced carvers. The unusual pose and cheeky expression make the sculpture a charming artwork with a wink.
