Traditional Nature

Combining the beauty of nature with traditional handicrafts, Gunadi presents this set of four ornaments which are created by Javanese artisans. Each ornament is carved from wood in the shape of a heart, decorated with teal leaf motifs or intricate vines on red. The designs are applied using the batik method; a wax resist is added before the wood is treated with colorful dyes. Afterward, the wax is boiled away.
