Question 1

What is albasia wood, and why is it used for sculptures?

Accepted Answer

Albasia (Albizia saman) is a fast-growing tropical hardwood traditionally used in Indonesia and Southeast Asia for handcrafted objects, sculptures, and furniture. It is lightweight yet firm, excellent for carving — its natural grain and colour variations give each individual piece an unrepeatable character. The antique finish draws out the wood's deeper tones.

Question 2

How should I care for a wooden sculpture?

Accepted Answer

Wipe the sculpture with a dry, soft cloth — avoid a wet cloth, as prolonged moisture can cause the wood to crack. Keep it away from direct sunlight and strong heat sources. Occasionally apply a few drops of natural wood oil (such as linseed oil on a soft cloth) to prevent the wood from drying out. Do not sand or abrade the antique finish.

Question 3

How much space does this sculpture need?

Accepted Answer

The 24×35×9 cm dimensions are suitable for tabletop, shelf, and windowsill placement. Given the 35 cm length of the horse figure, it is worth ensuring the shelf or surface has enough lateral space. At approximately 590 g, it sits stably and is easy to move and rearrange.
