I’ve seen sloths in Central American jungles; so the “Mother Sloth” wood carving really jumped out at me. Fernando Castro is a superb artist!

This pair of elephant sculptures is stunning in its shapes and colors, and heartwarming in its theme of a mother elephant and child. It now sits on our mantelpiece, but would looks charming in many other locations. Just lovely! Thank you so much.

Mother and Child Sculpture

A mother holds her child tenderly aloft in this suar wood sculpture by Bali’s Made Wirata from the NOVICA Mother and Child Collection. Typical of the broad spectrum of materials and techniques from this international collection, Wirata’s work reflects the traditional Balinese sri bunga style of the wood carvers art. Like other artists from Bali, Brazil and West Africa who contributed pieces to this collection, Wirata started from humble beginnings in his local village of Gianyar to now find his work gaining an international reputation. And, like his compatriots from all over the globe, his desire is to preserve his craft and bring prosperity to his friends and neighbors through his art. Mother and child statues from Bali, Java, Brazil and West Africa, carved in Wood, bronze, resin and stone make up this truly one-of-a-kind collection. We hope you enjoy!
