Patron of arts and sciences, Ganesha blesses every soul with a life full of success and free of obstacles. As a benevolent god, the deity is worshipped in diverse celebrations around the year, inspiring Made Mulyani to handcraft this acacia wood mask. Honoring Ganesha and his magnificence, the Balinese artisan creates an intricate artwork featuring the divinity wearing glamorous accessories, all painted by hand in a palette of golden and black hues that enhance the wood's natural color.

Rama, the seventh avatar of Vishnu, embodied reason and virtue throughout his adventures on Earth. Challenged with unexpected tragedies and moral dilemmas, the deity remained righteous and wise, receiving the title of Ideal Man. Inspired by the divinity's story, Javanese artisan Gunadi handcrafts a pule wood mask with intricate motifs made using batik techniques, all honoring the charming image of Rama. As a mystic touch, the artisan adds a bird-themed crown to the piece, symbolizing the sacred circle of life and death.

Shiva and Parvati represent divine masculinity and femininity in traditional Hindu doctrine, symbolizing the union of universal forces and the spiritual search for love. Inspiring many with their sacred romance, this godly couple is today the protagonist of Made Tresna's newest creation. Working with hibiscus wood, the Balinese artisan creates this wood mask depicting both deities wearing their classic ornaments, which are also hand-painted in a yellow tone.

Balinese artisan Wayan Nuliati presents this mask depicting a delighted Chinese Buddha in the middle of laughter. Handcrafted from suar wood, the pleasant curving shapes of this large happy mask will bring a smile to the face of anyone who glances its way. The mask is finished in its natural colors, giving the Buddha's proud countenance a rich and deep brown tone.

Hand carved and rich in beautiful detail, this suar wood mask comes from the talented Wayan Nuliati of Bali. Just as stunning as the goddess it represents, the mask is named after Cili, a symbol of Sri, Hindu goddess of rice, fertility, prosperity, and beauty.
