cool sculpture

An unbelievable wood carving mask. I have Janger dancer masks and other masks made in Indonesia. It’s a beautiful, intricate details wood carving. It is now adorned our formal dining room, together with my other hand made items from Indonesia and other countries. I am originally from Indonesia, so I am familiar with the wood carving.

The detail of this cannot be understood until it is seen in person. The gift was for my tattoo artist as a thank you. Big burly guy had to wipe his eyes, the piece overwhelmed him. 10 stars!

I purchased my first Subrata Barong mask 25 years ago, and it guards the door of the family house since that time. When I established my own consulting business and needed a "work apartment" I went to Novica to see if I could find another piece by the Subrata Paterfamilias, Nyoman Subrata, who carved our old Barong mask and also a beautiful mer-person sculpture that I have at work. I was sad to see that he had left us, but delighted to see that another family member carries on his legacy. Very happy with this new Barong, who watchfully guards the door to my work residence.
