The Balinese Riong is an important instrument in religious ceremony. The player is both participant and leader in rituals. As such, Made Jana has brought an extremely sensual, provocative wooden statuette to our lives. The carving depicts the Riong musician preparing for song. There is both a contentment, a love, for the ceremony to begin and a serious determination to the powerful task at hand. This handmade Suar wood sculpture is powerful not only in religious context, but also in the depth of emotion and skill poured into its creation.
