Cotton and Wood Decorative Doll, "Cat Who Loves Nature"
Deep green eyes gaze far away as a cat communes with nature. Delicately painted by hand, flowers and butterflies adorn his face and a beautiful young woman is observed by a feral kitten. Gusti Ngurah Semarajaya explores the feline psyche in a beautiful doll, crafted by hand. Carved from crocodile wood and dressed in handloomed ikat cloth, the kitty can be posed in a variety of positions.
"Ikat" means "to knot" in the Malaysian language, and the threads are dyed in random patterns before weaving.

"Very artistic"
Im a big fan of these hand-carved and painted dolls. I do wish the paintings were different instead of the rabbits being identical, but that doesnt take away from the quality or workmanship.
