Description: This listing is for a spectacular, one-of-a-kind alligator figurine that has been meticulously hand carved from the burl wood or “parasite wood” by a talented Indonesian artisan. In Indonesia, parasite wood carvings come from a parasitic plant, a mushroom-like growth that imbeds itself into the bark of a Chinaberry tree and gets its nourishment from the tree’s sap. These dense and hard growths survive long after the host tree rots and dies. The artist then collects the parasite wood for carving and uses the different shapes caused by the growth as inspiration for their wooden sculptures. Therefore, no 2 parasite wood carvings are exactly the same and each one is a unique find. This hand carved alligator figurine is in great condition. There is a split in the wood but it’s superficial and this figurine is completely intact, feels sturdy with no visible breakage. Measures approximately 11-12 inches long. Crafted in Indonesia.
