Influential maestros like Rudolf Bonnet, Walter Spies, Tjokorda Gde Agung Sukawati, I Gusti Nyoman Lempad, and Tjokorda Gde Raka Sukawati, among others, reshaped artistic paradigms. They shifted the focus from classical depictions rooted in shadow puppets, mythology, and religion to embrace more contemporary and secular themes. The life stories of the maestros from the Pita Maha organization, such as I Nyoman Ngendon, Ida Bagus Made Poleng, and Ida Bagus Made Nadera, remain an inspiration despite being less familiar to many. Their influence, however, is ingrained in remarkable artworks like this carving, encapsulating the essence of Bali's cultural heritage. ► ✈ FREE AND FAST WORLDWIDE SHIPPING To the U.S it mostly takes 4 to 10 days, to other countries 10 to 24 business days.

My travels have taken me to out of the way places where there are no cars or hotels, some of the remote places are only reachable by foot, so I often take long treks into the bush to find some of these rare pieces, but mostly its a question of being in the right place at the right time, my collection consists of ethnographic material from animist tribal peoples of Africa, Asia and south east Asia.
