Garuda is the eagle god who travels between heaven and earth. His image is very common in Balinese cremation ceremonies. Legend says that two gargantuan underworld serpents enslaved the Garuda. When he broke free, he flew directly to the heavens and became immortal.
Nyoman Indrawati Subrata of the Subrata Family carves the intricate and beautiful mask by hand of Balinese suar wood. The artisan carries on the extraordinary art work of her late father, Nyoman Subrata.

"Unreal"
The detail of this cannot be understood until it is seen in person. The gift was for my tattoo artist as a thank you. Big burly guy had to wipe his eyes, the piece overwhelmed him. 10 stars!

"Third artwork by members of the Subrata family"
I purchased my first Subrata Barong mask 25 years ago, and it guards the door of the family house since that time. When I established my own consulting business and needed a work apartment I went to Novica to see if I could find another piece by the Subrata Paterfamilias, Nyoman Subrata, who carved our old Barong mask and also a beautiful mer-person sculpture that I have at work. I was sad to see that he had left us, but delighted to see that another family member carries on his legacy. Very happy with this new Barong, who watchfully guards the door to my work residence.
