indonesian wood carving

This peaceful, beautifully hand-carved suar wood relief panel features a floral motif encircling the great om symbol — a mantra of healing and peace that Hindu and Buddhist traditions believe flows through every particle in the universe. In yoga, the om is believed to replenish the body and soul.

With this inspired wall sculpture, Indonesian artisan Made Mulyani aims to share the simplicity and happiness she finds in her craft and culture with a larger audience.
