Absolutely Remarkable!
I am an American, and have had an interest in Indonesian culture for much of my life. This mask of "Bhoma the Protector" is one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful mask I have ever seen come out of Bali. I was absolutely stunned when I opened the package. This beautiful piece by Made Mulyani was carved with love, compassion and an amazing amount of skill. I am truly appreciative of all the work she put into this. Even the wood itself was wonderful just to hold and feel. Further, the packaging so that the mask would make it safely to the U.S. was done with such care I have to mention that here too. Thank you Novica. Thank you Made Mulyani. I am so happy to have this treasure in my home. This mask without question truly is the soul of Bali.
Third artwork by members of the Subrata family
I purchased my first Subrata Barong mask 25 years ago, and it guards the door of the family house since that time. When I established my own consulting business and needed a "work apartment" I went to Novica to see if I could find another piece by the Subrata Paterfamilias, Nyoman Subrata, who carved our old Barong mask and also a beautiful mer-person sculpture that I have at work. I was sad to see that he had left us, but delighted to see that another family member carries on his legacy. Very happy with this new Barong, who watchfully guards the door to my work residence.
