The Wayan Rendah Artisan Collection is brought to you by World Menagerie in Association with National Geographic. This beautiful piece was handcrafted by Wayan Rendah in Indonesia. 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's father began teaching him to sculpt when he was a boy. ''Balinese woodcarving touches me very deeply. They 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 they finished school, they studied further because they needed more experience, and the tools and material they needed were beyond their financial reach. Exploring the abstract world refreshes their mind in creating new carvings.
