About this item: With a whir of lacy wings, a dragonfly poises on a lotus bud. Putu Oka Mahendra creates a quintessential image of Bali on these exquisite ceramic boxes. After shaping them on the potter's wheel, he sculpts the relief figures by hand. The boxes are glazed and high fired for eight hours, resulting in a hard, glossy finish. About our Artist: Balinese artisan Putu Oka Mahendra inherited his ceramic legacy from his mother, Made Tantri, who pioneered ceramic artistry in 1980. At first, she undertook the entire design and crafting procedure by herself, and developed a reputation for fine design and high quality. In 1990, when Tantri passed away, Oka Mahendra took-over her work, and eventually opened a showroom in her memory. The award winning designer finds inspiration in the luscious flora and fauna of Bali.
