Ganesha sits on a lotus throne – a symbol of divinity. Carved by hand from suar wood, the Beloved Lord of Wisdom holds an axe and a lash to defend mankind from evil. Wayan Rendah portrays the beloved god, son of Siwa and Durga, two of the most powerful deities in the realm of Hindu belief. His clothing and human posture evoke a sense of nobility while his elephantine face speaks of kindness and generosity. Rendah's artistry gives a distintively Indonesian interpretation to Ganesha.

Hand-carved of crocodile wood, Buddha rests his head against his knee in this beautiful and celebratory sculpture from Bali. Gung Gus creates the reverent sculpture, painting Buddha's skin in a gold tone with hand-painted floral motifs over his clothing.

Seated on a tiger, Shiva lifts a hand in blessing. Regarded as the celestial overlord of deliverance through destruction, Shiva has his customary trident by his side as a show of divinity. The hissing cobra that slithers around his head symbolizes his potent divine destructivity, and his matted hair is thought to contain the flow of the Ganges River. Shiva is one of the most complex gods of India, embodying seemingly contradictory qualities. He is both the destroyer and the restorer, the great ascetic and the symbol of sensuality, the benevolent herdsman of souls and the wrathful avenger. Unaffected by the whims of the world, he is innocent and guileless, pure of mind and heart. He does not adorn his body with jewels or flowers — he mats his hair and dresses in animal hide.
