This beautiful work of art is hand carved from the Chinaberry Tree (Jempenis in Balinese) found in the forests of Indonesia. You can enjoy these distinctly unique, natural figurines created by mother-natures and artists endless imagination.
The bare wood is tan to yellowish in color. When properly finished, it is quite smooth and beautiful to look at with its visible grain and irregularities of pattern. The Chinaberry tree often attacked by a tropical mistletoe. After this mistletoe dies off, it leaves a perfect attachment imprint on the host stem. This intricately sculpted impression is called the wooden rose. The nearby wood is darkened , creating interesting contrasts and color.
By pruning the infected branches and creating art we can help the ancient trees to live out a longer, healthy life.
The artists imagination and talent changes these splendid creations from nature, into a true one-of-a-kind art piece. Each figurine is hand crafted from unique pieces of parasitic wood. They are filled with beautiful, natural variations of color and shape. No 2 pieces can possibly be the same!!!
By owning an exceptional unusual art piece, you help to preserve the islands ancient Chinaberry trees as well. We are saving the trees and the wildlife it supports. It also provides income for the region.
Each carving has been hand finished using liquid wood wax. All fine wood carvings just like furniture, must be nourished at times. Use a coat of neutral color liquid wax, or wood oil once or twice a year. Buff with soft cloth if needed.
