This remarkable stone sculpture hails from the Sunda Islands, a region rich in cultural diversity and artistic expression. Crafted by the Atoni ethnic group, this piece stands as a testament to their profound connection with both the material world and the spiritual realm.
The Stone Rider commands attention with its enigmatic presence. Carved from a single block of stone, it exudes an ancient wisdom that transcends time. The rider, perched atop an eroded mount, embodies a harmonious balance between human and beast. His form is stylized, capturing essential features while leaving room for imagination. The chiseled lines evoke movement—the rhythmic gallop of hooves across sun-baked plains.
