A coconut shell is transformed into an amazing sculpture featuring octopus in an underwater garden. From Eka in Bali, the sculpture is carved by hand with lavish detail. Includes an albesia wood stand.

Carved with sublime detail, this sculpture by the family of the late Putra Suteja features the great Bhoma on all sides of the sculpture. Bhoma is the son of the Goddess Prathiwi, who represents the Earth, and the son of the god, Vishnu. He is the protector of all Balinese villages and the acknowledged Lord of the Forest. Despite his frightening appearance, Bhoma is a good and friendly spirit, much loved by the devout Balinese. His image is frequently found over Balinese houses, Hindu temple gateways and on cremation towers in Bali. Its function is to ward off evil. This sculpture comes with a detachable albesia wood base.

Keeping alive the artisan heritage of her late husband, Putra Suteja, Eka presents a beautiful spherical sculpture atop a removable albesia wood base. The sculpture is created by removing the husk from a coconut shell and polishing it to a sheen. A design featuring jepun, or frangipani flowers is then carved by hand upon the shell.
