piece of art

Adorning my fireplace mantel, this Beautiful Enchanting Mask became the focal point of collaged carved wood pieces also purchased from NOVICA. Wish I could Attache a photo to show how it all looks!

I bought this sculpture to sit on my bedroom dresser because what better place to celebrate the ultimate "Love of the Ages" epitomized by Rama & Sita? And, while the pictures on the Novica site are accurate, there's somehow no comparison to how amazingly awesome this sculpture is up close & personal. The "presence" of this sculpture comes across like a quad-shot of cosmic esspresso! The carving is exquisite, kind of jaw-droppingly so. As a trained artist & craftsperson, myself, I am humbled in its presence. Dearest Nyoman Subrata, though this is not the first beautiful carving of yours I own, & though each one is treasured, your Rama & Sita sculpture has now become one of the "crown jewels" in my collection of sacred art. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with me, for adding to the beauty of my home, & for the sublime awe I experience in the presence of your creations.

This piece is a talented embodiment of the art of dance in the art of wood sculpture. It crafted with intricate details of the dancer costume. It will remind me of my enjoyable time visiting beautiful Bali.
