These beautiful works of art are carved from a parasitic plant which grows on the chinaberry tree (jempenis) of Bali, Indonesia. This plant parasite causes the wood to distort and deform into unique mushroom-like growths.

Not only does the top of the design represent a creative animal carving, the natural foothold of the parasite wood is left intact for you to enjoy its natural beauty created by mother natures own imagination.

Each piece of wood used to create these carvings is different in shape and design, therefore making each piece a true one of a kind work of art.
Not only do you get to own an exceptional piece of Bali?s traditional art, but you get to help the islands ancient trees as well to live out a long parasite free life.
