Wood statuette, 'Serenity Buddha'
By Marilynn
Beyond My Wildest Dreams!
This arrived at my home in perfect condition. Just what I always wanted! Wood is smooth and rich. I've been looking for years to find the right Buddha figure. Perfect! The workmanship is exquisite! Many thanks to Wayan Rendah and Novica! -- MJ, Rigby, ID, USA
Wood statuette, 'Fern Cross'
By Anand
Cherished piece of art and prayer
This cross on wood was a gift to a family whose faith in god is being enhanced with this beautiful piece of art. It will be cherished by them forever
Bronze figurine, 'Buddha's Enlightenment'
By Darian
This is such a peaceful piece.
This is a wonderful piece. What makes this special from the artist is his head is bowed down and his hands are tightly clasped. A great addition to my collections of Buddha .

Bali’s Nyoman Sudiana has been creating religious sculptures with his family, a group of traditional carvers, from the time he was in elementary school. He is typical of the talented local artisans who carve their own, personal interpretations of their religions in unique local materials. Raul Ullloa Baylon is another example of a local artisan expressing his religion through his exquisite, unique dioramas. High in the Andes of Peru, he combines his painting and weaving techniques to make these unusual detailed religious dioramas.
Both artisans from different sides of the planet exemplify NOVICA’s belief in encouraging and promoting local talent no matter where in the world it may be. We hope you enjoy!
