Novica 'Three Wise Monkeys' Statuette

The Wayan Rendah Artisan Collection is brought to you by Novica in Association with National Geograhic. This beautiful piece was handcrafted by Wayan Rendah in Indonesia. An artisan story card will be included with your purchase. Three monkeys crouch in a row. One covers his eyes, one his ears and one his mouth as they wisely "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." Wayan Rendah carves the whimsical trio from the warm grain of Balinese suar wood, expertly detailing each simian feature. ; About the Artist: Wayan Rendah; Wayan Rendah's father began teaching him to sculpt when he was a boy. "Balinese woodcarving touches me very deeply. I have learned a variety of arts in Bali, such as gamelan dance, but carving a piece of wood gives me an incomparable sensation," he says. "After I finished school, I studied further because I needed more experience, and the tools and material I needed were beyond my financial reach. Exploring the abstract world refreshes my mind in creating new carvings."
