Wearing a fearsome garland of demon's heads, Kali walks on the corpse of a demon. Another form of the goddess Durga and Parvati, she is one of the most powerful deities in the Hindu pantheon, known for her aggressiveness. One of the many manifestations of Maha Devi, the great mother, Kali is part of the life and death cycle of the world. Although Kali is known for her destructive side, she is also a wife and mother; her magical characteristics include rebirth, cycles of life and death, joy, courage, hope, cleansing and change. She is the protector of the oppressed and warrior for the people, depicted in a finely detailed sculpture by Suresh and Devender Garg.

A vision of profound spiritual impact, this sculpture expresses the artistic reverence of Balinese culture. Wayan Rendah depicts the mighty eagle, unassuming, confident in its plumed stature. Empowered eyes gaze forth from the hand-carved surface of select suar wood.

Discarded thick wires, metal sheets, pulleys and screws become a train engine under the ingenious creativity of Mexico's Armando Ramírez. Once the main frame of the engine is built, Ramírez transforms a car bearing and spark plugs into characteristic train parts. Ramírez recycles bendix parts from a car's electric system into the train's cauldrons, which are joined together with thick wire and a brush holder from a car's electric system.

Please note it is the artist's intention not to give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.

With poised elegance, a goldfish becomes an object of admiration as a sculpture from Eka. The fish is carved by hand from suar wood with admirable detail to the gills, fins and face, resulting in a vivid sculpture.

Carved by hand from suar wood, a playful kitten looks naughty. Eka presents this charming feline sculpture, detailing the cat's plump tummy, busy paws and mischievous eyes. The sculpture is designed to rest on its side or on its back.

A pair of joyful hummingbirds dance and flutter as they find an inviting spot in this gorgeous sculpture by Yudi Suardi. With the desire to carry on the tradition of Balinese wood carving, the talented artisan hand carves these dancing birds with passion, skill, and an incredible attention to detail. Using local jempinis wood and benalu wood, the artisan brings the two birds to life, accentuating every detail and inviting the onlooker to bask in the cheerfulness and curiosity of the hummingbirds. Please expect variation in the size and shape of the natural wood base.

Expertly hand-carved from pinewood, this charming figurine captures the vibrant spirit of the quetzal, Guatemala's national bird. Adorned with colorful floral motifs, every detail is painted with care, bringing the bird to life in a celebration of artistry. Inspired by the whimsical beauty of Mexican alebrijes, Manuel Delfino transforms traditional folk art into a delightful keepsake.
