Details

Roses bloom on a serene feminine face. The beautiful woman smiles seductively as a monarch butterfly poses briefly on the blossom. Gusti Ngurah Semarajaya sculpts the form from crocodile wood, painting the smooth features by hand. Lined in velvet, the box stores jewelry and keepsakes. Semarajaya's original design pleads the cause of the migratory insects whose sanctuaries are being destroyed around the world. Peace requires that people and nature live in harmony, is the artisan's message.

"A new addition to my Turtle collection"

Gusti Ngurah is a true artist. Hope to collect all his turtles and small jewelry boxes as small rewards to myself. The details in his paint strokes are just incredible!
