handmade statue

Sarono's lovely statuette depicts a woman in asana, a Sanskrit term derived from the phrase "to be." The Javanese artisan hand casts the statuette from a combination of cement and lava sand before painting the woman a rich golden brown with glossy red clothing.

This toy-like statuette from Ira S. will add a crafty appearance to your home decor. Balinese artisans use local suar wood to hand carve the robin, painting its features in carefully blended hues of orange and brown. Perched on an albesia wood double-decker bus, this bird is ready to go sightseeing.

Curious and cute, this kitty family will add an adorable touch to your spaces while getting more than one smile from friends and family members. Crafted in Bali by Komang Sri, each cat statuette features a sturdy albesia wood structure hand-carved to detail in different sizes. As the final touch, the felines are painted in white, simulating their fur and enhancing their cute red noses.

No holiday would be complete with a pair of Santa's little helpers at your side. Balinese artisan Nik, who specializes in holiday ornaments, starts by hand carving the pair from albesia wood. The elves are hand-painted in festive red and green, and finished with looped polyester cords for easy hanging.
