Vintage Balinese hand-carved wooden panel. A scene from a mythological Hindu epic poem. Lacewing-Interiors first touched down in Bali as long ago as the late 70s, early 80s, before the Aussies arrived en masse , and Kuta had one hotel.

Called, somewhat imaginatively, the Kuta Beach Hotel , the concept of Kuta with just a single hotel now seems incredulous, the strip running ever northwards for mile after mile up the coast. What hasn't changed is the gentle spirit of the Balinese people and their dedication to art and the spiritual, particularly in the interior. Woodcarving, in particular, is a revered art form going back centuries. The woodcarving villages of Tegallalang and Jati north of Ubud, along with the route from Mas to Peliatan having changed little.

Hindu epic poems like the Mahabharata, going back some 3,500 years. On offer here is a highly decorative panel depicting a Balinese character engaging with a wild boar in the depths of a tropical jungle. In the canopy above, a tropical bird is perched high up in a tree, quite likely a mythical Garuda.

Belalu , a fast growing Balinese softwood, is widely used in such panels as these, particularly lending itself to showcasing the time honoured skills of Balinese craftsmen. This example dating back to the 2nd half of the 20th century.

All exquisite artefacts from that mythological island that is Bali. Panel in the last image is in our personal collection, a vintage find dating back to those trips in the 80s. Please look at the images as they form part of the description. ANTIQUE STATUE FROM SINGARAJA, N. BALI, FOR DISPLAY ONLY, AND NOT INCLUDED.
