Balinese artisan Made Itihasa continues the sculpting traditions of his village, Buruan, creating this manually carved and polished wall clock from suar wood, requiring a single AA battery. The clock's sculpted design details the locally significant, immortal figure, Kala Rau, who drinks the water of immortality and disguises himself as a god, much to the annoyance of Lord Vishnu, who sends Kala Rau's head floating into the sky where he exists until the present. Whereas common motifs depict Kala Rau devouring the sun, moon or the goddess of the moon, instead Made Itihasa has chosen to put time in the jaws of the immortal figure, a unique interpretation of the story.
