beautiful mask

Designed by Javanese artisan Tiwi, these three beautiful batik face masks feature hand-painted flora and fauna motifs. The cheerful motifs are hand painted on the one side of the pure cotton masks using natural dyes; the other side is tie-dyed. Contoured for comfort, the double-layer masks are reusable and washable, and feature elastic ear loops for a secure fit. Please wash the masks before first use.

Dreaming of her beloved, a beautiful woman offers him her very soul. Thoughts swirl in delicate arabesques to embrace a serene nude portrait. Wayan Rendah carves an exquisite mask, enhanced by the wood's richly varied grain.

This small duck lives throughout the tropics of the Americas, especially the Amazon region. With its dark mask and beautiful russet-brown feathers, it remains a shy and usually silent creature. Mauricio Morales depicts the aquatic bird in a ceramic sculpture and carefully paints it by hand before protecting the colors with a coat of wax. The realistic figurine is signed and identified by the artist.

A beautiful albesia wood mask centers the woven pandan leaf cover of this handsome photo album. Komang Sulaksana designs the album for 4x6 photos, fitting four on each rice straw paper page with slits. Doorslag paper between the pages protects the photos. Bound with cotton and adorned with a cinnamon stick and agel details, the album holds 80 photos.

The beautiful Bawang closes her eyes in meditation as her song of hope reaches the heavens and brings her riches. One of many of Bali's legendary characters, hers is a story of moral underpinnings as her destiny surprises her. Wayan Rendah hand-carves her visage from hibiscus wood to capture Bawang's ethereal origin with the wood's bicolor grain. Eloquently detailed, the mask features a bird pecking treasures on Bawang's head. A most vivid piece accompanied by mysticism to complement a personal collection.

A humble Bawang was envied by her sister Kesuna, who though rich, was full of lust and banished Bawang to the forest. Scared, Bawang began to pray for protection, her prayer akin to a bird's trill. Soon birds began to peck on her arms and neck leaving behind gold bracelets and necklaces. When Kesuna saw her sister's fate, she ran into the forest to seek protection, however instead of jewelry, she met only snakes and scorpions.

Hibiscus wood exhibits colors ranging from white to light gray, dark gray or even black heartwood. This natural occurrence can rarely be replicated, making each carving exceptionally unique. Please expect slight differences in wood grain color and distribution patterns. Theme and artistic quality remain the same.
