At the heart of Indonesian wood carving lies a profound spiritual dimension. Many artisans believe that the wood itself possesses a spirit, and they approach their craft with respect, often offering prayers before beginning. This deep reverence for nature and tradition is reflected in the intricacy of their designs, which frequently feature mythological creatures, deities from Hindu and Buddhist iconography, or detailed depictions of everyday life in Indonesian villages.
