abstract carving

Made Tresna's intriguing mask depicts the abstracted face of a beautiful woman. The Balinese artisan skillfully crafts the mask from hibiscus wood with a lovely natural grain, hand carving exquisite details around the woman's face. A polished finish give the mask's natural wood a subtle luster.

Portrayed in a mask, ancestral spirits of the earth goddess grace a beautiful design by Salihu Ibrahim. Named Bayiri, it refers to small sculptures of the female bush spirits among the Bwa tribe of Burkina Faso. Such spirits have no natural shape and must be portrayed in abstract geometric form. These feminine spirits are associated with human fertility.

Wayan Rendah carves this amazing wall mask from native suar wood. An abstract couple faces one another with smiles on their faces, a butterfly fluttering above, and dolphin swimming below. A lush selection of flowers and vines bring the different aspects of the panel together in magnificent harmony. The artisan finishes the design naturally, which enhances the earthy appeal of the panel.
