Delicate lotus flowers and leaves adorn this hand-carved wood relief wall panel, crafted from native suar wood. Presented by Luh Mas Sri Pertamiari, the lotus is a common symbol in Buddhism and represents rebirth.

The OM symbol, representing all sounds and symbolizing the essence of the universe, is nestled among frangipani blossoms in this magnificent hand carved suar wood wall relief panel by Balinese artisan Seji Taram.

Known as om or aum, omkara is the root of all sounds, emitted as a mantra during meditation. It is believed all desires will vanish, thus attaining self-realization and the highest of knowledge. This one letter symbolizes the most high in the Hindu pantheon, representing every kind of trinity such as Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva, past-present-future, birth-life-death; creation-preservation-destruction, and waking-dreaming-deep sleep.

These elegant herons wading in a lotus pond are just a small example of the elaborate wood carvings that decorate buildings throughout Indonesia. This wall hanging is hand-carved of suar wood and signed by Eka, who says her young children give her the motivation to maintain the woodcarving workshop she established with her late husband.

Ketut Seji, wife of the late Balinese artisan Ketut Taram, preserves her husband's legacy in this carving of a seated Buddha. Buddha's head rests upon his hands, and a faint smile plays across his lips. The serene sculpture is carved and finished by hand, and signed by Ketut Seji.

A new hand-carved piece from Made Mulyani's brilliant wood carving collection, this natural wood Sanskrit letter om will be a statement piece wherever it hangs. Om is a mantra in Hinduism and Buddhism culture. The sacred sound is found in ancient manuscripts, is a symbol of inner peace, and flows soul-like between every particle of the universe. It is known to be used in yoga with every sound of om to replenish the soul and body. This piece features a flame burst motif to accentuate the power of the om symbol.

The Hindu lord with an elephant head graces the lid of a suar wood box. By Eka, this decorative box holds a secret. Four pieces link together like a puzzle to hide personal treasures inside, guarded by the auspicious Ganesha.
