About this item: By Wayan Rendah, this enigmatic mask is a song of love. Like swirling ribbons, suar wood tendrils lightly caress the face – samanea saman – a lovers face with openings carved in the eyes. "Her eyes, the window of her heart, are on him... with him in her thoughts in every moment," the artisan muses. - Signed by the artist - Each artwork is unique -- wood grain, color, and pattern will differ slightly from picture About our Artist: Wayan Rendahs father began teaching him to sculpt when he was a boy. Balinese woodcarving touches me very deeply. I have learned a variety of arts in Bali, such as gamelan dance, but carving a piece of wood gives me an incomparable sensation, he says.

Exploring the abstract world refreshes my mind in creating new carvings.
