Details

This delightful hand-carved wood wall accent from Made Mulyani in Bali is based on the traditional Balinese okokan, or cow bell. The bell was originally created to keep track of cows and repel evil spirits, but is also used as a musical instrument in processions and ritual dances. The demonic and yet somehow whimsical face features crooked teeth, a cleft lip, and cat-like eyes. The dangling tongue serves as the bell's clapper.

I bought this to replace a metal sculpture I bought at Pier One years ago. This is so much more beautiful and intricate.
