Working in the style of ancient Java, Suparta carves a portrait of the Hindu god, Shiva, one of the most complex gods in Hindu faith, embodying seemingly contradictory qualities. He is both destroyer and restorer; the great ascetic and the symbol of sensuality; the benevolent herdsman of souls and the wrathful avenger. Coiled around his neck, a cobra symbolizes his divine destructive power. His gesture is known as vitarka, or the "gesture of debate.

"I Love Them!"
Very nice carved wood sculptures. The only reason I did not give a 5* rating, is due to the fact that the colors are not as vivid and distinctive as in the photo. Still, a lovely piece of art.

"CHARMING WOOD SCULPTURE"
This pair of Balinese Wood Sculptures Is Wonderful. Great size and the detail in the wood carving is beautiful. Warm colors and the antique finish add to the personality of this couple. Thank you Suparta for your outstanding workmanship and for the opportunity to purchase your talent thru Novica.
