The Nengah Sudarsana Artisan Collection is brought to you by August Grove in Association with National Geograhic. This beautiful piece was handcrafted by Nengah Sudarsana in Indonesia. An artisan story card will be included with your purchase. Sitting on its hind legs, a Siamese cat covers its ears with its paws to hear no evil. Vivid and endearing, the cat is carved by hand from albesia wood by self-taught artist Nengah Sudarsana. He paints the sculpture with acrylics, achieving a lively representation of the cat. About the Artist: Nengah Sudarsana; ''From an early age I loved natural things – plants, animals, birds or sea life. When I was still quite young I knew I had an ability to translate nature into artful things of beauty. Although I have no formal art training and work purely from my own inspiration and intuition, I know what looks good and what doesn't look right in a carving. I particularly want to create wildlife and other animal themes in an exact, realistic and original way.''
