Balinese Holiday Gift Guide Gifts for Him Sculpture

This is a beautiful carving of a thankful hand that now has a special place in our home. It is something that will be passed on to our children and to their children.

I bought this sculpture to sit on my bedroom dresser because what better place to celebrate the ultimate "Love of the Ages" epitomized by Rama & Sita? And, while the pictures on the Novica site are accurate, there's somehow no comparison to how amazingly awesome this sculpture is up close & personal. The "presence" of this sculpture comes across like a quad-shot of cosmic esspresso! The carving is exquisite, kind of jaw-droppingly so. As a trained artist & craftsperson, myself, I am humbled in its presence. Dearest Nyoman Subrata, though this is not the first beautiful carving of yours I own, & though each one is treasured, your Rama & Sita sculpture has now become one of the "crown jewels" in my collection of sacred art. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with me, for adding to the beauty of my home, & for the sublime awe I experience in the presence of your creations.

I love how this artist takes something as basic as a piece of wood and turns it into a work of art. The geometry of this piece is simply divine. I'm regularly caught up in the motion of this sculpture.
