Stunning frangipani flowers surround a cross created by Balinese artisan Sarwaedi, who puts all his expertise and creativity into a unique design. After hand-carving each detail from suar wood, the artisan polishes the surface for a lustrous finish that adds a magical and natural touch to this relief panel.

The collision of two worlds brought to life a traditional cross that symbolized the beginning of a new era. Celtic beliefs and Christian faith motivated ancient civilizations to create this intricate design, now inspiring Bali's Made Wardika to create a stunning necklace. After carving the pendant from cow bone, the artisan adds an adjustable leather cord for a comfortable fit, with a little sterling silver hoop allowing the centerpiece to dangle gracefully.

For a lovely and inspiring addition to your home decor, this wall cross is created by Balinese artisan Sarwaedi. He works in natural suar wood, diligently carving the cross by hand. It features lotus flower motifs and elegant openwork that is achieved with great attention to detail. The cross receives a distressed black finish for the look of a treasured antique.
