Carved with sublime detail, this sculpture by the family of the late Putra Suteja features the great Bhoma on all sides of the sculpture. Bhoma is the son of the Goddess Prathiwi, who represents the Earth, and the son of the god, Vishnu. He is the protector of all Balinese villages and the acknowledged Lord of the Forest. Despite his frightening appearance, Bhoma is a good and friendly spirit, much loved by the devout Balinese. His image is frequently found over Balinese houses, Hindu temple gateways and on cremation towers in Bali. Its function is to ward off evil. This sculpture comes with a detachable albesia wood base.

Engraved with a lovely butterfly motif, Komang Sri's statuette doubles as a catchall for small trinkets. The Balinese artisan crafts the catchall from a coconut shell, hand carving the butterfly motif onto a convex surface before finishing her creation with a suar wood base.

You may look long and hard, but you'll never find another jewelry catchall quite like Komang Sri's. The Balinese artisan crafts the catchall from a large piece of coconut shell, hand carving albesia wood accents and painting the inside a lovely golden color. Slip your earrings through the holes at the top, and coil your necklaces at the bowl's bottom.

Shake to the rhythm with this handmade maraca. Artisan Trisna Dewi of Bali creates this maraca by hand-carving the mahogany wood handle and coconut shell, which is then filled with beads. Enliven your next jam session with this fun musical instrument.
