  1. Fascinating bas relief. Beautiful.

  2. A culture so rich in beliefs, gods and goddessses. Thanks for the tribute

  3. Nice artwork. Where did you find it, in India or in a museum or elsewhere?

  4. Oh, it’s at home. I see it each morning as I am getting ready for work.

  5. About 6 to 12 inches high I bet.

  6. who? =) Each of the figures is 9" high, and the block of red sandstone is about 20" high in total.

    To me the true beauty is in seeing them as a Tarantino troupe preparing to get medieval….

  7. Still a table top size as I had guessed.
    Must be nice and well placed…(if I understand correctly).

    Like warrior women? The women in the sculpture look like real women. There is a warrior in all of us. Protecting our family, spouse and children, protecting our homes and livelyhood, all the while remaining feminine and passionate. A true warrior and a true woman!

  8. it´s at home

    But you didn´t answer Maesk, did you? Where did you find it first? Or you got the house with the stone in it already?

  9. Found it at a Butterfields art auction… (after having regretfully lost out on the bidding for a righteous 20 ft tall Papua New Guinean totem pole =)

    There is a perfect alcove for the ladies, overlooking a tile jacuzzi. They are smiling and looking down to the water as if they want to take a dip.

  10. It sounds just perfect. Thank you for offering this very private view in honour of International Women’s Day. It is a good homage to women.

  11. what fun!! bet they could tell some tales…

  12. thank you for sharing. I didn´t mean to be intrusive with my insistance. Now we have the whole picture. =)

    Papua New Guinea´s means something very special… so their sculptures I understand you. 😀

    I think I would feel little intimidating to have that pink crew watching me while I am in the jakuzzi… 8-/

  13. Gi: actually he did answer my question because I thought he might have photographed it at a museum, didn’t think of the possibility that it could have been at home (nice!). But as you said, now we have the whole picture. The only thing I can’t picture is how the 20ft totem pole would have fitted in the alcove 🙂

  14. Maybe is one of those delightful ancient houses, y´know, with those hiiiigh ceilings… But in that case the totem might have not suitted very well, but for styling reasons… uhm. Odd indeed! 😉

  15. …the Totem Pole was to be part of the treehouse deco?

  16. All good ideas…. The PNG totem poles look good outdoors…
    Ethereal Explorers

    I was thinking of a place nested between some pines and palms, overlooking the pool.
