Incredibly beautiful!

Product picture

When I opened the meticulously packaged Khan Im sculpture, shivers ran up my hands and arms! I felt her true essence in this beautiful work of art! She absolutely radiates compassion! The carving is so delicate and her countenance so serene. Everything about her is perfect. The hibiscus wood is beautiful and very meaningful. She is holding a very special place in my home. I can't thank Mr. Rendah enough. I am ordering another for a dear friend. Thank you, thank you!

an awesome spirit house

I got it to mount in front of my house, as is proper for spirit houses. It looks solid and long-lasting, and I'm looking forward to many years with it out in front.

Religious Sculpture

Bali’s Nyoman Sudiana has been creating religious sculptures with his family, a group of traditional carvers, from the time he was in elementary school. He is typical of the talented local artisans who carve their own, personal interpretations of their religions in unique local materials. Raul Ullloa Baylon is another example of a local artisan expressing his religion through his exquisite, unique dioramas. High in the Andes of Peru, he combines his painting and weaving techniques to make these unusual detailed religious dioramas. Both artisans from different sides of the planet exemplify NOVICA’s belief in encouraging and promoting local talent no matter where in the world it may be. We hope you enjoy!
