THIS ITEM IS IN CAPE TOWN

This magnificently and intricately hand carved pair of tall solid Rosewood Thai "khon" dancing figurines are an amazing find and would make an incredible feature set in an entrance hall or reception area. The hand carved teak statues measure 66cm and 72cm tall respectively. The one figurine has the tips of the fingers missing and has a few chips in the wood (see pics). 

Khon is a dance drama genre from Thailand. It is traditionally performed solely in the royal court by men in masks accompanied by narrators and a traditional piphat ensemble. A khon story has many characters. The most famous characters in the story are the monkey warriors, Hanuman and Phra Ram. Modern khon contains many elements from the lakhon nai and today, includes female performers playing female characters, formerly performed by men. While the ogre and monkey characters wear masks, most of the human characters do not. Khon is based on the tales of the epic Ramakien. Khon Ramakien originally could be performed by men only. Women performed only as angels and goddesses. Today women perform as monkeys and demons. In the past, khon was performed only by the royal family, with the sons of the king performing as monkeys and demons. Thai Khon stresses the realistic dance moves, especially monkey, which focuses on beauty and fine monkey-like dancing postures. Khon training is begun at a very young age, so that the performer can become flexible enough to do back flips, especially by the monkey character. 

Please view the pics carefully to fully appreciate this pair of beautiful khon dancer figurines and to confirm the condition.
