Wood statuette, 'Crested Owl'
Largely nocturnal, the owl stares with wide eyes that see in the dark. Wayan Rendah sculpts the feathered hunter in exquisite detail. Strong toes and sharp talons grasp tall branches and seize its prey when the crested owl swoops earthward on powerful wings. Rendah captures the creature's majestic beauty in Balinese suar wood.
