This adorable sea turtle sculpture by Bali's Made Arsa boasts numerous remarkable features, but one is particularly unique: its base, expertly crafted from natural benalu or parasite wood. This material is the result of a plant attaching itself to a tree's bark, forming a distinct, mushroom-like structure that is truly unlike anything else. Handmade from jempinis wood and embellished with exquisite hand-painted colors, the sea turtle figures appear to gracefully swim atop this captivating base. Please note that the sculpture's components are detached for shipping purposes.
