Sacred mythological texts written by sages announced the existence of the spirit of darkness, whose name is composed of the words Bhuta and Kala, meaning "energy that causes darkness." With an ancestral origin, the spirit Bhutakala is portrayed as an entity of balance, allowing harmonious life and testing humans' true nature. Source of mystic power, the entity is depicted by Made Tresna of Bali in this hibiscus wood mask, boasting the region's exquisite artistry and rich nature.

"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.
