Dewi Sri is considered an important fertility goddess, especially in Bali and Java. She regulates all life, directs above all in her function as the goddess of the moon the flourishing of the food that grows on the earth and determines the death that makes plants, animals and humans return to their bosom. Thus it also commands over the underworld and the other world. Above all, however, it provides food for the people and thus ensures their survival. Since rice is the main food of this region, Dewi Sri is above all the venerated rice goddess. She is portrayed as a goddess of unusual beauty. She is always portrayed as youthful, supple and slender.
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.
