Beautiful Likeness of a Unique Duck
In 2018 a Mandarin duck appeared in Central Park, New York seemingly out of nowhere. That sparked my fascination with this duck. I was surprised and pleased to find this sculpture years later and was able to "capture" my own Mandarin duck. I love the sculpture and the incredible attention to detail and the realistic faithfulness to the duck. Okay, the real duck looks a little like a toy as well, but I am thrilled to have another sculpture by Nengah Sudarsana, and this one joins my small flock of ducks by him. Perhaps I'll take it to the lake in Central Park and see if another real one will show up to keep mine company.

Delightful!
This was intended for a friend who loves our Siamese kitten but whose apartment does not allow pets. It's really lifelike, evidently - I unpacked it to check for any shipping damage, and almost immediately our kitten chewed off the tops of its ears! So I am now doing cosmetic surgery and it will occupy a place in my home instead (joining other Balinese carvings that various members of the family have brought back over the years). A really charming ornament.
