This wonderfully realistic portrayal of a coiled snake, shows the supple nature and rippling texture of the body - this really is an inticate carving, and comes from the wood-working artists of Bukittinggiand in Indonesia.
This snake has been carved from the close-grained warm tropical hardwood called suar wood, which is grown as a sustainable crop.
After carving it is sanded, waxed and polished by the world famous Balinese wood carvers and like all items imported by the Buddha of Plenty, we pay for all materials and tools in advance, and the carvings are made specifically for us.
