Balinese Buddha Wood Sculpture, "Buddha's Four Faces"

Carved by hand, this portrait of Buddha reveals four faces, each with a different expression — smiling, laughing, sad and angry. Oka Pastika and Ketut Mustika transform Balinese acacia wood into a beautiful sculpture. Named Catur Muka, it combines the Sanskrit number "four" (catur) with the Bahasa word for "face" (muka). The artisans suggest you place the sculpture on a desk or shelf near you, and turn the face to display your current mood.
