Antique Carved Balinese Wooden Temple Deer/Kidang
Couldn't load pickup availability
Purchased from the late Harry M Miller when he was selling his converted Chinese laundry abode in Woollahra, Sydney in the 1980's. It was full of Balinese antiquities.
These carved antique deer are not allowed out of Bali now, as they are part of the people's culture.
In some places of Bali they are known as menjangan, which is derived from the old Javanese word for deer. In other places they are called kidang, which is closer to the modern Indonesian kijang or deer.
Usually, special temples called sanggah seluangan have a deer which is symbolic of the descent from Majapahit ancestors. The deer is part of the Balinese peoples' connection with the spirit world.

Size of body is 50cms (front to back, not counting head), approximately 15cms wide at smallest part, and 57 overall height to tip of antlers.

Purchased a gorgeous brass table lamp that is even better than shown in the pictures. Kelly was so helpful and really added a lovely personal touch to my online shopping experience. Highly recommend.
I have bought many times from Antiquely and always found the process easy and efficient. The collections on offer from Danielle and the other sellers are always fabulous, regularly updated and offered at terrific prices. Delivery of items has always been swiftly and efficiently organised by either Danielle or the sellers and the goods always arrive quickly and are well packed. I love supporting Danielle's business and have Antiquely as one of my go-tos when I am sourcing unique and interesting finds for my interiors.
As always a beautiful unique lamp you can’t buy off the shelf. Excellent service
My lamps from Antiquely arrived beautifully packaged and individually wrapped.
I love each piece of lamps ! In great condition with no damage to any parts and light globes intact. Looks exactly like the image on the webpage.
Thank you Antiquely, I am looking forward to my next parcel from you.
Kind regards,

Thanks to Danielle for a seamless transaction exactly what I wanted.
Kellie was a delight to deal with and package arrived quickly and was packaged beautifully. Love my new purchase and will be buying again from Antiquely! 5 stars 🌟
Great speedy service, gorgeous product, thank you so much!
Very happy with my gorgeous tray, very pretty and will have many uses
Great service too. I highly recommend Antiquely.
Love my new art work and Antiquely was so easy to deal with. Kelly from Pin Money was brilliant too! Love this site!
I absolutely love my one off purchase and Danielle was so helpful every step of the way!
I had a wonderful experience with Danielle and Antiquely. Such a clever site and wonderful lady to work with. Danielle helped me sell pre owned things from my previous home that no longer worked in my current home. The thought of gumtree scared me. I run a design firm so our stars aligned. All the items I wanted to sell were upmarket and needed to go to new homes, in which Danielle helped me achieve this. She was professional, driven and has fantastic followers. She created this wonderful tastemaker sale and it was a success. I feel relieved that my pre owned items are loved and re homed. I would not hesitate to work with Danielle again, she is awesome! xx Lauren
The lamp and shade were lovely. Exactly as described. Seller was so easy to deal with. Thank You.
Antiquely is the place to visit if you’re looking for that something extra special. I have found the most beautiful pieces that I will treasure. My most recent purchase is my best purchase to date, a stunning mirror that I’ve spent years searching for.. Thank you Danielle.
We recently conducted a taste maker sale with Danielle and we thrilled with the outcome. The Antiquely platform connected us to new customers and resulted in fantastic sales. Danielles communication was excellent and her professionalism is second to none. We loved selling with the platform and have loved sourcing with Antiquely also.
