Certainly no sexism implied. But the upper torso here does not look feminine to me. I do see what you mean about the backside. I am also no expert on Bali dress, but men did wear sarongs.
Tatyana, that carving is beautiful. I would say that it was probably meant to hold some type of talisman, but it would have to be small.
I have sent an e-mail to Cecas. We will see if there is a reply. I would like to think the best, but often enough researcher come on board here, use us and forget us. Just the way of the world i suppose.
