About this item: A serene young cat clasps its forefeet as though in prayer. This whimsical image comes from Nengah Sudarsana, who shares his love for animals through his work. Carved from Balinese suar wood, the sculpture is beautifully created by hand. - Signed by the artist - Each artwork is unique -- wood grain, color, and pattern will differ slightly from picture About our Artist: '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. '
