Ken Dedes was the first queen of Singhasari. She was the consort of Ken Arok, the first ruler of Singhasari, Java, Indonesia. She was later considered the origin of the lineage of kungs that rule Java, the great mother of the Rajasa dynasty, the royal family that ruled Java from the Singhasari to the Majapahit era. Local tradition mentioned her as an embodiment of perfect beauty. Basanite is a volcanic, greenish rock. The stone gets its characteristic colour from a lot of clay minerals. The small to medium sized indentations in the rock are a characteristic feature and mark the good quality of the natural stone. The sculptures are frost-resistant, but do not tolerate road salt.
Our sculptures are not perfect!
They are created by hand from natural material. Handcrafting
offers no second attempt; each blow with hammer and chisel, once
executed, is irrevocable.
Rock inclusions and/or small chips are testimony to the
naturalness of the material and the dedicated craftwork of the artists
and are therefore not to be considered a flaw.
Please keep this in mind if you decide to buy a hand-cut sculpture from Indonesia.
We will inform you if the price of this product will be changed according to your wished price.
