Divine Prosperity

This suite brings together two hand-carved wooden Kuda horse statues.

The Kuda (meaning horse in Indonesian) was carved by hand by local artisans on the island of Sumba in Indonesia, made as per ancient techniques. In Sumba, horses are highly valued and closely associated with prestige, tradition and ceremonial life. They have long played an important role in wedding rituals, including as dowry, and the number of horses a family owns can represent its social status.

The suite comes complete with the black metal stands and the story of Kuda printed out for you inside a beautiful envelope. Being artisan crafted, every piece is an original, showcasing the natural beauty of the wood with organic imperfections and cracks. Color hues vary from medium to darker browns. The handmade metal supports carry their own authenticity, with subtle imperfections and the potential for a natural patina to emerge over time.

DIMENSIONS INCLUDING THE METAL SUPPORTS:

• The large Kuda statue: around 73cm height by 42cm width by 18cm thickness.
• The medium Kuda statue: around 58cm height by 40cm width by 15cm thickness.
