Description: An Indonesian hand-tooled metal sculpture from the Celebes Island depicting a temple monster with swine ears and legs, horn, tail … more An Indonesian hand-tooled metal sculpture from the Celebes Island depicting a temple monster with swine ears and legs, horn, tail and a bell around his collar. Created on the Indonesian island of Celebes (now called Sulawesi), located east of Borneo, this metal hand-tooled metal sculpture depicts a striking temple monster. Leaning down on his front elbows, the creature is raising his head up, slightly opening his mouth and revealing his sharp teeth. He is focused on a scene invisible to us. He showcases swine ears with nicely scrolling details, ornate eyebrows and a horn at the top of his head. He is wearing a collar with crosshatch motifs from which a petite bell is hanging. The ensemble is completed by a large tail echoing the horn's movement. Boasting a nicely weathered patina with green undertone, this Indonesian hand-tooled metal sculpture from the Celebes Island will make for an unusual decorative accentuation in any home and will be a great conversation starter! less
