Description :

This stunning set features two hand-carved wooden sculptures, each rich in character and craftsmanship. Together, they offer a powerful blend of cultural depth and emotional expression.


The first piece is a Maori-style Tiki statue, bold and detailed with traditional carvings and symbolic imagery on the reverse. This vintage carving may represent spiritual protection or ancestral wisdom. The base is marked with “50Q DOLLIR,” suggesting an earlier artisan price or identifier.


The second is the serene “Thinking of You” sculpture, handcrafted by artist Wirata for Novica, in association with National Geographic. With clean, elegant lines, this figure captures a moment of contemplation and calm. It’s signed by the artist and labeled “INDONESIA” underneath.


Dimensions:

Maori statue: 12 inches tall × 5.5 inches long × 3 inches wide

Novica "Thinking of You" sculpture: 12.2 inches tall × 6.2 inches wide
