Madura Wrongko's of Various Types?

[Rick]

Exquisite masterful carving; I don't think I have ever seen a better example of this style of wrongko.

Thanks for your compliments Rick, but I do have a few more of these, and in my opinion the ones I still have are probably better than this one.

I like these wrongkos, some people think they were early examples of the dreaded "Kerisus Turisticus", but this is quite incorrect, they were and are a form of folk art.

Yesterday I received this wrongko from Madura, I think it's worth to add to this thread.

Another one which is worth for sharing.

And a third one.

Yes Detlef, i would say all three are good additions to this thread. Shame about the damage on the first one, which is really an extraordinary example of this ladrang form. I do believe a better restoration of this could be achieved, though the skills are beyond my own. But i have seen such work even by certain members of our forum.

Hello David,

Thank you! And don't worry, I am working on it. 000 steel wool and a dark wax let it look much better now. Still need to fill up the gap. I am sure that I can do it nearly invisible.

Detlef
