Verve Dragon by Ketut Taram ""Through my art I do hope to provide a good life and a better future for my family, especially for my little child.""Artist Bio & Reviews Shipping Payment   About this Item   About the Artist   Related Items   FAQs   About this Item Wood sculpture, 'Verve Dragon' by Ketut Taram Size  :  11.8 inches W x 19.7 inches H x 7.1 inches D Weight  :  11.02 pounds Materials  :  Suar wood Additional Info  :  Signed by the artist Each artwork is unique -- wood grain, color, and pattern will differ slightly from picture The immortal dragon rears up, tensing its muscles in a threatening stance. Sharp fangs glistening, the dragon opens its mouth in a silent scream of rage. The recurrent theme of the dragon in Balinese art underscores the legendary animal's divinity in their culture, a motif that has not escaped the artistic eye of Ketut Taram. Believed to be the guardian of the gods, this suar wood dragon fiercely protects the sanctity of the home. A master wood carver himself, Taram was taught by his brother, carrying on the tradition of their father before them. He takes his inspiration from Balinese culture and tradition.
