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.
