Hand-Carved Wood Lotus Kawung Jewelry Box Lined in Velvet, "Kawung Simplicity"
Wayan Rendah designs a jewelry box of regal beauty, which he carves by hand from dark brown sono wood in low relief. He decorates the lid with the legendary kawung motif unique to Javanese batik art. Referring to the fruit of the palm tree, kawung batik patterns are sometimes likened to lotuses which symbolize long life and purity. For the sides, the Balinese artisan carves mountain ranges of exceptional beauty. A tray with four compartments lifts out to reveal four more inner compartments, all lined with red velvet.

"Passionate and beautiful"
I bought this as a gift for a newly married couple. It is light (because of the weight of sugar wood) and beautifully carved. It is passionate portrait of a couple in love. Highly recommended.

"Received box with noticeable split in wood"
I know some amount of damage or differentiation in woodwork could be and usually is considered to be part of the art. However, the box I received had a noticeable split in it, to the point that I would consider damaged. I am returning mine.

"Beautiful decorative bowl"
I love the concept of the bowl made from hands. It is not as spacious as I had anticipated because the wood design is very substantial, but it is beautiful and will make a lovely gift.
