Kitty's inquisitive but docile gaze is irresistible in this sculpture from Bali's Nengah Sudarsana. The artisan masterfully captures the cat's relaxed pose and expressive face, right down to the whiskers. The sculpture is carved by hand of native suar wood with a natural finish that highlights the wood's grain.

"Short Haired Cat"
Very nice carving with cute face. The suar wood grain on my cat looks like tabby markings. Securely shipped. I appreciate that it is signed and dated. Thank you.

"Superb!"
I ordered 3 pieces at the same time after having them in my wish list for a very long time. I am so pleased that I eventually decided to go for it! Beautiful workmanship, delivery instructions followed, well packaged and nice knowing I have something unique as it is handmade. The only thing is there was lots and lots of paper used as packaging, so whilst it kept the product safe it did take a lot of space in the recycle bin. Very happy with my purchases, would not hesitate to buy more from this talented sculptor.

"Gorgeous!"

Beautiful workmanship, delivery instructions followed, well packaged and nice knowing I have something unique as it is handmade. The only thing is there was lots and lots of paper used as packaging, so whilst it kept the product safe it did take a lot of space in the recycle bin. Very life-like, about the same size as my real Siamese cat. My snowshoe has given it a sideways glance more than once, so its not just me that thinks it realistic.
