Wood statuette, 'Cockfight'

A powerful piece, this statuette conveys the powerful dynamics of a cockfight. A millenary tradition, cockfights hold an important place in Balinese rituals. The spilling of blood is believed to appease the demonic forces which otherwise would create disturbances and disrupt the ceremonies. People breed roosters especially for these fights. Wayan Dirga carves this sculpture by hand from suar wood with admirable detail.

An artisan story card will be included with your purchase.

Wayan Dirga

"My name is Wayan Dirga and I was born in 1969. Most of my family members are carvers, for it is a family legacy that has endured several generations. You could say I was born with a talent to carve, which I developed by merely observing my parents and relatives at work every day. My inspiration comes from Balinese customs and traditions.

"Competition is hard here in Bali, for there are many good and expert carvers. This makes the life of the carver a very uncertain one because it makes it difficult to sell our work.

"I'm grateful for what Novica is doing to promote artisans' works to the whole world. Hopefully, my art works will be accepted, and I will appreciate any criticism that would improve my work."
