About this item: Beaming with delight, this mask by Nyoman Naranata invites a smile of complicity. Rounded cheecks and eyes that turn upward express unbridled mirth. The smooth grain of hibiscus wood is carved by hand to showcase Naranata's consummate skill. Hibiscus wood exhibits colors ranging from white to light gray, dark gray or even black heartwood. This natural occurrence can rarely be replicated, making each carving exceptionally unique. Please expect slight differences in wood grain color and distribution patterns. Theme and artistic quality remain the same. About our Artist: Nyoman Naranata learnt to carve at a very young age. 'Handicrafts are becoming the main wage earner in my village. My experiences have led me to concentrate on carved masks. I learned to design from my father; this craft is taught and learned from generation to generation. The material I commonly used is hibiscus wood. It has good characteristics and it isn't too heavy.'
