Janger Dance-Inspired Suar Wood Wall Sculpture from Bali, "Kecak Janger"
Inspired by the cultural tradition of Janger dancing, Nyoman Indrawati Subrata of the Subrata Family creates this stunning wall sculpture. Working with a single piece of suar wood, she hand carves the image of two dancers in elaborate headdresses who touch cheeks. Popular with Balinese youths, Janger is typically performed by ten people who are divided into two groups: the female dancers, known as Janger, and the male dancers, known as Kecak.
The artisan carries on the extraordinary art work of her late father, Nyoman Subrata.

"Magnificent!"
Barong is now busy protecting the house, frightening evil spirits but grinning heartily at the rest of us. He has added a colorful and life-enhancing presence that is a delight to encounter daily. After his arrival I particularly enjoyed watching Barong dance rituals on YouTube and highly recommend them to anyone contemplating ordering the mask since you ll understand his significance and character better. Incidentally, I had no trouble hanging him on the wall with a tiny bit of ingenuity.

"Wedding gift"
Absolutely beautiful. I gave this pair as a wedding gift and the recipients loved them. A unique piece of art has more meaning than a store bought, massed produced article and supports the craftsmen and their family. Please dont hesitate if considering a carving by the Subrata Family. You will not be disappointed.
