Sharing in romance, two swans touch their bills together in this lovely relief panel from Bali. Komang Sri creates this circular relief, which she diligently carves by hand from a single piece of suar wood. Dot motifs encircle the swans, displayed above a flower.

The endless bond of love inspires a myriad of tender sensations in the human heart, just like Wayan Rendah's newest creation. The Balinese artisan uses his talent and masterful skills to handcraft this suar wood relief panel, featuring a heart shape and two hands holding each other tenderly as an expression of love and virtue.

Celebrating the love between Rama and Sita from the Hindu epic Ramayana, Indonesian artisan Wayan Rendah creates an impressive relief panel to add to your home decor.

"This sculpture represents the way to keep forgiving each other, loving each other, and to be at peace with yourself, because we are all brothers," explains Balinese artisan Wayan Rendah, conveying this vision in his superbly hand-carved relief panel.

"I is inspired by the turmoil of the world, which is completely uncertain, which causes unrest and difficulties for all countries, Where each party shows a high sense of ego and feels the most right, without realizing it.

"We are all brothers and sisters in this world. There should be no such thing as enmity. In the Hindu sloka verses, the Wedadikatan Sloka — "Wasumdhwam Kutumbhaka" — means let's sit together and shake hands looking for a way to an agreement to achieve world peace."

The artist continues, "The way to make peace for the common good in society and the world is to mediate, to sit down together to find the best solution for problems, and to solve them for the sake of mutual peace and the world. My hope is that all people can respect each other to avoid hostility and injustice in life and society.

"We must forgive and love one another in order to achieve peace. We are all brothers and sisters in this world where there should be no such thing as hatred.

"Love and peace are powerful concepts that inevitably go hand in hand, because one does not exist without the other."

A hug can relieve tension, show love and make our days memorable. This simple act of tenderness inspires Balinese artisan Nyoman Sudiana to handcraft a stunning suar wood sculpture of a couple united by a hug. Polished for a lustrous touch, this superb artwork comes with a natural wood grain pattern that adds a warm aura to the design, making it perfect for any ambiance.
