Dewi Sri is considered an important fertility goddess, especially in Bali and Java. She regulates all life, directs especially in her function as moon goddess the flourishing of the food that grows on earth and determines the death, which plants as well as animals and humans return to her womb. Thus she also commands over the underworld or otherworld. Above all, however, she 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 revered rice goddess. She is portrayed as a goddess of unusual beauty. She is always depicted as youthful, lithe 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.
