    This very twisted, carved wood sculpture of a very twisted/distorted female appears to be Indonesian or maybe from the Philippines? She looks almost amphibious in her contortions.

      Typical of those carved in Bali, Indonesia.

      Thanks Congcu. I've seen similar in the PPhillipines, but i think you are correct.
    3. Congcu, 3 years ago
      You are correct, the styles in both countries are quite similar. You will also see some that are like this from Haiti.

      That piece is titled “A Woman’s Grace” by Wayan Rendah.

      Thank you Jellington. I had Bali correct and you were able to identify the carver.
