    Coconut shell sculpture, 'Bumble Bee'

    A bumble bee browses luxuriant foliage in a scene from Bali. From Putra Suteja, this charming sculpture is carved from polished coconut shell. Keeping her late husband's artisan heritage alive, Eka gives new life to these objects. It stands on an albesia wood base.

    Please note size and coloring may differ, as natural coconut shells are used.

    An artisan story card will be included with your purchase.

    "I am Eka, and I was introduced to Novica by my husband Putra Suteja. Unfortunately he passed away in 2009 after a long illness, leaving me with a 3 year old daughter and a 10 day old son. I decided to honor his memory by continuing carving, something I learnt from my father from a very young age. Dad would carve and my mother, brothers and I would finish the pieces. We worked this way until I married Putra Suteja.

    "He liked to carve coconut shells and we enjoyed developing new styles and designs together, then I would make the samples. Now that I'm the sole provider for my children, I continue to carve coconut shells, and I also carve statuettes from wood.

    "My children are my biggest motivation to work and to move on. Even though now I am alone, I always keep my spirit up and go on strong for my children. Thanks to them I do not falter, and thanks to all of you for always supporting me.

    "Being associated with Novica means I can feed my children – I will always do my best to provide a good future for them. Thanks Novica and thanks to you all, because you encourage me to continue developing new ideas and designs for the sculptures so they will be always liked."
