Delivery EstimateKnown as the demon who chases the moon across the sky, Kala Rau is captured in natural hibiscus wood, diligently hand-carved by Made Tresna, working with local Balinese artisans. Part of a myth that explains the lunar cycles, Kala Rau is depicted with fearsome teeth and a prominent, moon-shaped forehead.
Please note that natural hibiscus wood varies widely in color and grain, making each mask a unique work of art.

"It is filled with something rather wonderful"
I bought this for a dear friend. I call her a Mermaid, and she loves Yoga. I truly think the craftsman put himself into the figure as he worked. When it arrived I just stared at it, and put it in the sunshine, still beautifully wrapped. Visitors sat and stared too. I sent it on to my friend, who had the same reaction. She said it was as if each layer of wrapping was a prayer. It may sound fanciful but this is a very special Lady.
