"House Protector!"





My husband and I visited Bali in 1990 and loved the work of many different artists. Since the Winged Dragon is a protector of the home, this carving is a house-warming gift for our sons first house. The detail is wonderful; the expression fierce and protective. The back of the wings is smooth and shows the wood without carving, providing a peaceful contrast to the forward menace. I love it, and know he will also.

"Very detailed dragon"





When I look at this piece; besides really liking it, I wonder how long it took to make it. The detail and direction the artist took in making this dragon is just beautiful. The wood/color is nice too. I thought it would be heavier, it is still very nice.
