Chinese Styled Wooden Baba And Nyonya Sculpture

From my previous posts, I've mentioned that Baba and Nyonya has a unique culture in Malaysia as well as Singapore. The culture encompasses various aspects of life such as costumes, furniture, architecture, language and food, and is a harmonious blend of the Chinese and Malay cultures with a tinge of Western influences, and has thus become a special acquired culture itself.

Pictures below show a Chinese styled wooden Baba and Nyonya sculpture or carving from my collection. It is believed to be one of the panel taken from the Baba and Nyonya wooden wedding bed.

Length : 20.5cm, width : 8cm.
