Delivery EstimateSir Zebra puts his ears back thoughtfully as he prepares to speak. Gusti Ngurah Semarajaya crafts a personable doll from crocodile wood and dresses it in handloomed ikat cloth. The word means "to knot" in the Malaysian language, and the threads are tie-dyed before weaving.
The doll can be posed in a variety of positions. Semarajaya suggests it can be displayed alone or on a base.
