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.

"Beautiful Buddha"

Well-carved Buddha statue. Not an understatement to describe the artist who created it as a master carver. A beautiful, elegant, serene and meditative image of the Buddha. The perfect addition to any room. Nice on a shelf or your desk. A truly wonderful item.

"This product is so beautiful and Serene."

I love looking at this sculpture. It calms my soul. The wood is so very hard yet so soft to the touch. Wayan Rendah is brilliant. I have four of his carvings!

"A Wonderful Gift"

Mr. Rendah has got to be my favorite carver of Buddha statues. Ive had so many different ones over the years, but I always go back to his unique work. There is something organic about hand carved wooden Buddhas, and no one does it better than Mr. Rendah. I gifted this Sitting Buddha to a friend, and she loved it.

"Another Beautiful Buddha"

Over the years, I have owned a number of Mr. Rendah s beautiful Buddha statues. Each is a unique work of art. I am so pleased to now own his “Serenity Buddha.” This is the statue he carves in his video, and I ve always loved watching him create it. It will sit in an honored place on my small home altar where I meditate. Mr. Rendah, thank you for another amazing work of art.
