BALI ART

The Mermaid

exist in mythology around the world, including Bali where she is know as Putri Duyung which translates to Princess or Daughter of the Sea.

Our Putri Duyung

Is hand carved from Gray Hibiscus Wood, known for it’s beautiful full tight and smooth grain, as well as the two tone coloration of the wood. The artist has let the shape of the wood determine the sinuous curves of this voluptuous Goddess Putri Duyung. Her face is beautifully carved, each scale on her tail is meticulously detailed. The strands of her hair seems to be floating in the water.

Amazing detail and very smooth finish that only a master Balinese carver can achieve using only simple hand tools! Then and polished and waxed to a beautiful satin finish.

Please review more photos below.

You will recieve the exact carving you see here. This is not a stock photo. All of my fine Hindu and Buddhist sculptures are one of a kind works of art that I choose by myself directly from the artist in Bali, many who I have had relationships with for 20 plus years now.

This wonderful work will be sure to grace you home or sacred space with the deep mythical beauty and meaning of the Balinese Hindu culture. I am sure you will love and enjoy this amazing artwork of Bali as much as I do.
