Nyoman Naranata carves the mask of an ordinary man whose salient characteristic is its rather long nose. This mask is intended to represent an ordinary fellow that brings comedic relief at the end of a dramatic performance. Carved by hand of hibiscus wood, this bondres is a welcomed sight during dance performances.
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.

"Great Wall art"
The mask is light weight and has a a wonderful warm color that in neutral without being boring. Unlike so many masks, this one is serene and beautiful, rather than frightening. I love having it in the living room.

"A piece you want to touch as well as see"
Beautifully executed. The skill in carving the face is extraordinary. I find myself often wanting to run my fingers over the nose, the lips the cheek to marvel at the soft sleek curves and defined edges. The natural variation in Hibiscus wood means receiving a very unique sculpture and I find it a joy to discover new details. I am definitely adding this artisan to my favorites.

"I like this piece so much, I bought two!"
This sculpture is a fascinating conversation piece. Everyone who sees it for the first time wants to know where it came from and who created it. This artist does a wonderful job of expressing emotion. It is one of my very favorite works of art!
