Bring a touch of expressive mid-century modern craftsmanship and soulful folk art into your space with this exceptional, hand-carved Balinese wood sculpture.
Masterfully rendered from a single block of dense native hardwood, this piece features a stylized mother sow enveloped by her tightly clustered litter of piglets.
The sculpture beautifully bridges organic tribal art with the smooth, fluid lines celebrated in Mid-Century Modern design.
Provenance & Craftsmanship:
This premium vintage piece is hand-signed on the base by the recognized artisan NJSARU of Ubud, Bali, the historical global epicenter of Indonesian master wood carving.
Unlike mass-produced contemporary imports, this authentic mid-century carving showcases spectacular depth, highly defined facial expressions, and a silky, polished patina that highlights the rich bi-color ribbons of the natural wood grain.
Symbolism & Styling:
In traditional Balinese culture, the motif of a sow with a large, healthy brood serves as a powerful symbol of continuous abundance, prosperity, fertility, and good fortune.
Approximate Dimensions: Length 7” x 6” Width x 5.5” height
Its rich, warm tones and sculptural, rounded form make it an ideal statement piece for:
Mid-Century Modern credenzas, eclectic boho bookshelves, and modern entryway consoles.
Condition Note:
Please note that this is a vintage, hand-carved item from the mid-20th century. It shows beautiful, natural wood grain variations and minor signs of age, including some minor wear to one of the piglets ears and one small area on a hoof. Please view all photos for details and feel free to reach out with any questions.

The sculpture presents a beautiful, rich, and lustrous patina consistent with age. There is one small, minor chip on a piglet's hoof, which is entirely consistent with the age of hand-carved vintage wood and does not detract from the structural integrity or overall aesthetic beauty of the piece. No large cracks or missing ears. less
