Sacred mythological texts written by sages announced the existence of the spirit of darkness, whose name is composed of the words Bhuta and Kala, meaning “energy that causes darkness.” With an ancestral origin, the spirit Bhutakala is portrayed as an entity of balance, allowing harmonious life and testing humans' true nature. Source of mystic power, the entity is depicted by Made Tresna of Bali in this hibiscus wood mask, boasting the region's exquisite artistry and rich nature.

This stunning wall mask turns the bald eagle’s majestic beauty into an unforgettable piece of art. Hand-carved from pinewood and hand-painted in intricate detail, it’s a perfect blend of nature and craftsmanship. Thanks to Guatemalan artisan Manuel Delfino’s skill, it’s easy to display with a maguey fiber cord and impossible to overlook.

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.
