Ceramic Skull Decorative Jar, "Trunyan Keeper"

Details
Tat Yan Soo of Bali presents this decorative ceramic jar in the form of a skull. The artisan was inspired by the funeral ritual of the village of Trunyan in Bali, where, instead of burying the dead, the deceased loved one is cleansed and placed in a bamboo cage beneath a Taru Menyan tree, or "nice smelling" tree, to neutralize the scent until time leaves just a skeleton. The skull is then placed on a special stone altar. Let this ceramic skull guard your treasures like the altar in Trunyan guards the memories of loved ones passed on.

8 Testimonials for Tat Yan Soo
'Hibiscus Leaves' is a very beautiful, obviously handmade tea set. It looks dainty but is good solid stoneware so should be durable as well as practical. It will be a wonderfulgift.

The white seashell tea pot and shell-handled cups are beautiful. I have them on a bench in my bedroom to remind me there is always time for tea!

The teapot and tea cups that I purchased from Tat Yan Soo are treasures. They are not only beautiful but very functional. Though we use the set often, it always feels like a special occasion. Thank you so much for sharing these lovely pieces of art with us!
