👋 Who crafted it

Skilled wood-carving artisans in Java, Indonesia — inheritors of generations of traditional craft from the world of Wayang. Each Gunungan carving is shaped, carved and finished by hand, carrying the subtle touches, grain variations, and soulful imperfection that only human hands can give.

💡 How you can use it

Hang the Gunungan carving on a wall in your living room, hallway, meditation space, or cultural-corner — anywhere you want a deep, meaningful accent. It also works as a centerpiece for cultural décor, paired with earthy textures, natural materials, or other artisan objects to build a home full of character, story and global craft spirit.

📏 How it fits

• Decorative wall-mount size — perfect for display as a standalone piece or within a curated gallery wall.
• Because each carving is handmade, expect subtle variations in wood grain, carving detail or finish — these are not flaws, but marks of authenticity and individuality.

🌍 What you do for our planet

• By choosing a handcrafted wood carving instead of plastic or mass-produced wall art, you support sustainable use of natural materials and reduce reliance on synthetic goods.
• By investing in artisan-made cultural decor, you help preserve traditional craftsmanship, support fair-trade values, and honor meaningful cultural heritage over disposable consumption.

🧽 How you look after it

• Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth to preserve carving detail — avoid water or harsh chemicals that might harm the wood.
• Keep it away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity to prevent warping or fading — natural wood responds best to stable, moderate conditions.
• Handle with care — as a handcrafted cultural object, treat it with respect to maintain its detail, finish and longevity.
