Wood mask, 'One-Eyed Clown'

A furrowed forehead, droopy mouth and twisted lip characterize this comical mask by Nyoman Naranata. It portrays Bondres. The much-loved clown in Balinese dance-drama, Bondres usually appears at the end of the performance to add a touch of comedy. The personage has even spawned a drama form of his own, known as Babondresan, to provide light entertainment.

Naranata sculpts this beautiful mask from smooth hibiscus wood. Polished to perfection, it is a delightful expression of Balinese tradition.

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.

Nyoman Naranata

"I am Balinese born and was named Nyoman Naranata by my parents in the traditional baby ceremony in 1970. When I was just an elementary student, the art of woodcarving was imprinted on my everyday life. Handicrafts are becoming the main wage earner in my village. As time passes and I get older, 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. I look forward to having cooperation and partnership with Novica, which helps artists in marketing around the globe."

Your hibiscus masks are some of the most intriguing masks that I have seen. I also love how you have made some of them double as statue carvings. The product was exquisite, the postcard was awesome,...
