Bali's vast creativity results in an abstract figure deep in thought. Its surprising contours and open spaces are fascinating when viewed from any angle. Presented by Made Wirata, this sculpture celebrates the power of the mind.

A serene cat sits in lotus pose as if in prayer ormeditation in this charming sculpture. Hand carved inBali from local suar wood and signed by artist NengahSudarsana, who shares his love for animals through his work.

The recurrent theme of the dragon in Balinese art underscores the legendary animal's divinity in their culture, a motif that has not escaped the artistic eye of Seji Taram. Believed to be the guardian of the gods, this baby suar wood dragon with wings fiercely protects the sanctity of the home.

A patchwork of floral artistry brings Rajasthani elegance to this upholstered ottoman from India's Ganpat Mehta. Underscored by shades of blue, recycled swaths of fabric are diligently embroidered by women artisans in Rajasthan. Beads and sequins accent the upholstery. Featuring sturdy iron rivets, the footstool stands on acacia wood legs, which are removable.

Recycled materials will vary, so please expect variations in patterns and color placement.

A pair of joyful hummingbirds dance and flutter as they find an inviting spot in this gorgeous sculpture by Yudi Suardi. With the desire to carry on the tradition of Balinese wood carving, the talented artisan hand carves these dancing birds with passion, skill, and an incredible attention to detail. Using local jempinis wood and benalu wood, the artisan brings the two birds to life, accentuating every detail and inviting the onlooker to bask in the cheerfulness and curiosity of the hummingbirds. Please expect variation in the size and shape of the natural wood base.
