Sitting serenely in meditation, Lord Ganesha clasps his hands as though in prayer. This image comes from Nengah Sudarsana, who transforms Balinese suar wood into art. The most sculpted icon of the Hindu pantheon, Ganesha's rotund belly is the kingly attribute of receiving and keeping secret information. His ears symbolize his acute hearing, and his wide forehead represents his great intelligence.

Holding his hands in the Vitarka Mudra, Buddha carries on his teachings in this inspired sculpture by Wayan Rendah. Hand-carved of suar wood, the sculpture possesses an intricate level of detail that captures Budd'as curling locks and flowing robe. A rich finish accentuates the wood's natural grain.

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.

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.

This striking sculpture by Indonesian artisan Togog Suyasa depicts the head of Buddha as he meditates peacefully. Handcrafted with great detail, the sculpture is carved from albesia wood and finished with dark brown paint.

Master carver Wayan Rendah patiently works upon a piece of suar wood to reveal the imposing presence of Lord Shiva – God of Destruction. Rendah hand-carves the deity with supreme delicacy holding a lotus flower and his traditional whip in two of his hands as he sits upon a lotus throne.

A powerful spiritual deity within the Hindu Triad, Shiva purifies the world through the destruction of all that is negative. According to Balinese Hinduism, Shiva is the god who prepares one for reincarnation and hopefully a better life, if one has lead an exemplary life. However if your karmas (actions) have been less than exemplary, Shiva will punish appropriately.

Due to the natural origin of the material and the handcrafted process involved, please expect the possibility of a slight difference in the wood's grain as well as dimensions.
