I visited Bali 40 years ago and a favorite memory is picking out a few hand carved statues which are still proudly displayed today. I am so glad to see the tradition continued in Bali. This is a gorgeous piece. Thank You!
I loved reading about the Ekeko fable, and this figurine is the perfect Ekeko. He is colorful, has a woven hat and lots and lots of presents. Most enjoyable and fun to look at. And, he indeed looks very jolly and makes me smile!
