Carved Balinese masks

Masks have been a part of the culture in Bali for hundreds of years. They depict characters in the ancient Hindu epic stories, and are worn by the dancers. These masks bring another dimension to the dance, allowing the performers to take on the character that they are representing.

The characters range from demons, to animals, royalty and Gods. The Bali masks are made from wood, and lovingly carved in great detail. They are sanded until they are very smooth, and painted using oil paints. The bright colors are preserved under a final coating of varnish. This keeps the colors strong, as well as providing a slight shine that glows under the stage lights.

These masks make great wall decorations in your home, being able to be hung on the wall by a nail. They can also be arranged on a shelf, and you can add to your collection each time you come back.

Carved frames, doors and panels

Balinese Carved Door

Balinese furniture is traditionally very ornate, with intricate carvings on every piece. Carvings can be found in almost every area of a Balinese home. Houses are decorated with beautiful stone carvings over the doorways, and around the edge of the roofs. The front door is usually fully carved.

One of these amazing doors would look great in any setting, and is a work of art in itself. Large panels carved with a village scene, showing the people going about their daily life, among rice fields and palm trees can make wonderful wall decoration. Place a mirror in the center, and mount it on your bathroom wall, and you will have a great statement piece which will be admired by all who see it.

Beautifully carved frames can transform any photograph or painting from a simple picture to a work of art.

Materials used for a Bali carving

Bali Wood Carving

There are many different materials used in Balinese carving, but the most common are wood and stone. There are several different types of wood used, such as ebony, mahogany, teak as well as fragrant sandalwood. This beautifully scented wood is used in mask making and has a lovely pale color.

The price of a carving will vary depending on the wood used. Harder woods are more difficult to carve. As the tropical forests are slowly disappearing, people are becoming more aware, and choosing teak over other woods. Teak trees are grown in managed plantations, which are being constantly replanted, and so not harming the environment.

For stone carving, cement, stone and lava are used, as these are readily available on this volcanic island. These materials are carved in to statues of anything ranging from deities to animals.

Whatever carving you decide to choose, you will not be disappointed, as the delicate work that goes in to making them will inspire and enchant for years to come.

Exterior Balinese doors and gates

Balinese Door

Every Balinese house is surrounded by high walls, and has only a single small entrance. This entrance opens to the street, and these styles of Balinese doors consist of two panels that open inwards. Each panel is fairly small, as the Balinese are extremely superstitious and they do not want to provide too much space that spirits could enter.

These two panels are secured by a wooden bar that sits in two grooves. When this bar is in place, the door cannot be pushed open. The decoration on these panels is based on floral designs, which are often highlighted in color.

These exterior Balinese doors could be used as an alternative to a front door, or as a gateway in your garden. Traditionally these exterior gates were made of wood, and this is still the preferred look. However there are also iron versions available that are being used more and more in the cities, where security needs to be tighter.

 

Interior Balinese doors

The Balinese style doors that are used inside the house are not quite as elaborate as the ones used for show on the outside but there are still some beautiful versions available. Interior doors do not include gold highlights, but are mostly left in their natural wood state, with designs created in a cut out style.

These interior Balinese doors can be hung in any room in the house, and can also be used to decorate wardrobes or closets. A TV cabinet can be spruced up with a panel from a carved Balinese door and when the TV is not in use, you have a wonderful ornamental piece of furniture.

Materials used

Balinese doors are typically paneled, and carved from teak, jack fruit wood, or other woods available on the island. The wood can be highlighted with varnish or stained a color to match your decor. There are also versions that are painted or gilded with gold leaf.

Many manufacturers are using recycled teak wood, taken from old buildings and fishing boats, to make some very interesting Balinese doors. The original paint work has been weathered and faded and the result is very unique. All of these look great in any setting, and bring an exotic style to your decor, both inside and outside your house.

You can also find some beautiful iron gates that run on runners, and have various designs incorporated that give an elegant impression. These can be locked and provide full security to your home.
