Details

Imposing eyes stare out at the viewer, representing a character from Bali's richly cultural folklore. In the great Hindu Ramayana epic, Kumbakarna is the brother of Rahwana, the evil ogre king who abducts Sita, wife of the hero Rama. Eventually, Rama and his brother Laksmana defeat Kumbakarna, their divine arrows cutting him down mercilessly one body part at a time. To create this image, Nyoman Indrawati Subrata of the Subrata Family patiently carves suar wood by hand, as symmetrical details reveal the artist's true magic.

“Stunning and Amazing!”

I bought this as a gift and I want to keep it for myself!! It is beyond stunning! The detail in the carvings is truly amazing. One of the best purchase I have ever made. It was very very well wrapped and protected in the shipping box. The gift wrapping was beautiful as well!

“Meisterhaft gefertigter Schutzgeist aus balinesicher Mythologie”

Ich besitze bereits eine Barong Maske, die ich während meines Aufenthalts in Bali in einer kleinen Werkstatt in Kuta erworben habe. Im Gegensatz zu all den Masken in den Souvenirshops ist diese, welche ich im Urlaub gekauft habe, schon ziemlich detailliert. Dennoch kann sie dieser Maske nicht im Ansatz das Wasser reichen. Der Detailgrad ist einfach atemberaubend. Man sieht schon beim ersten Blick wie viel Liebe in diese Schnitzerei gegangen ist. Wirklich meisterhafte Handwerkskunst. Erhlich gesagt werden die Bilder dem eigentlichem Produkt nicht gerecht. Was noch zu erwähnen sei ist, dass das Holz deutlich heller ist als die Fotos vermuten lassen. Vielleicht eine Frage der Beleuchtung. Das ist aber keine Kritik.

“Sehnsucht nach der Ferne”

Während meines kürzlichem Urlaub auf Bali habe ich mich in die dort praktizierte Holzschnitzkunst verliebt. Masken haben mich besonders fasziniert. Leider blieb mir nicht genug Zeit, viel Kunstwerke dieser Art dort ausfindig zu machen und nach Hause zu bringen. Somit habe ich gesucht und gefunden. Dieses Meisterwerk sieht grandios aus und hilft dieses Veräumnis zu wett zu machen. Es steht keiner Schnitzerei, die in Ubud direkt verkauft werden im geringsten nach.
