Description

Hand-carved from regional albesia wood, this mancala board is covered in vivid colors and intricately designed motifs. Balinese artist Gunadi utilizes parang batik, one of the oldest batik motifs in Indonesia. Parang comes from the word pereng which means slope. Perengan depicts a diagonal line descending from high to low. The unbroken intertwining S motifs symbolize continuity.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCT

Artisan Organization: Gunadi

Country: Java

"I was born in 1981 in a small village not far from the city of Yogyakarta, which is rich in art and philosophies. I am a married man with one son, and this requires more responsibility in making a good plan for his life in the future.

"In Java, arts and crafts are typically used in custom events or a special collection, and batik is closely associated with traditional ceremonies. There are philosophies contained in the art of batik.

"My parents taught me about working hard to reach my dreams and to always think positive, to be wise and help others. The spirit of an entrepreneur grew in me, and I decided to resign from the company where I worked. The wood batik artisans in my village were unemployed, as the company where they worked was closed. Most of them are women, and I began organizing them. Now, thank God, they can work at home and have more time for their families.

"We work on wood, with manual tools for the batik process. The wood is easy to find, but the batik process takes lots of time. We were once in a difficult situation when we got an order for a thousand pieces. But luckily, our client knew well about batik and how difficult the process is. So he gave us good tolerance for colors and pattern shapes.

"We craft wood batik ornaments, accessories and décor with the best quality we can, and incorporate our traditional batik culture into our designs. By working with you, I know people around the world will learn about us and our Javanese batik culture.""

Lovely

Got this as a gift for my husband. He has played this game in the past, but he has never owned his own sat, and it is stunningly beautiful. The detail is just gorgeous.
