+(2) Indonesian Coin and Carved Bone Angel Figures. Pair of Indonesian figures made of overlaid Chinese bi coins with carved bone head and hands, on wooden base.
Indonesian coin figures are distinctive folk art sculptures made by arranging or soldering coins—often older, decommissioned, or decorative currency—into human, animal, or abstract forms. These figures reflect a blend of ingenuity, resourcefulness, and symbolic craftsmanship, with each coin contributing both visual texture and historical resonance. While not part of traditional religious or ceremonial practices, coin figures are often made as decorative souvenirs or artistic curiosities, sometimes representing themes of prosperity, protection, or cultural identity. Their designs vary widely, from simple, stylized forms to intricate, articulated constructions, and they serve as a unique intersection of material culture, art, and local heritage in Indonesia’s broader artistic landscape.
