Details

In an amazing display of his eye for detail and steady hand, Wayan Rendah carves accacia wood into an incredibly realistic portrayal of a poisonous cobra. The serpent's arched head and coiled tail reveal its strength and charisma in a powerful way. In Bali, the cobra is considered a holy serpent, often portrayed in the company of Siwa, the god of balance. Siwa is one of the three gods in Bali that governs birth, life and death. Siwa is often shown with a cobra that rests on his head and around his neck while he peacefully sits in a meditative state.

“Stunning wood carving”

I was struck by the design and theme of this item looking at it on the Novica website. I ordered it and was even more impressed viewing it at home. The detail is amazing. Every cut is perfect. To me this item represents power and beauty. It is a wonderful addition to my art collection.

“So Lifelike, almost scary”

It is truly lifelike. The workmanship is incredible. The wood, the stain and the intricacy is unbelievable. Thank you Wayan for this creation - I will treasure it for many years.

“Uniquely Functional!”

This uniquely functional bowl is so beautifully crafted that it is almost a shame to fill it with belongings. Either way, it is a delight in our home and will be in yours, too!

“great gift”

I ordered this for my best friend as a birthday present. It was shipped directly to her, so I havent seen it myself, but she said it was beautifully made. Ordering was easy, and it arrived well in advance of her birthday, about a week earlier than Id anticipated. Thank you for prompt service and a quality object.
