I know that his monkey tail was set on fire by King Ravana of Lanka who I mentioned in my post, and who abducted Sita, the wife of Lord Rama.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-7218299696765783882013-05-05T03:19:29.573-04:002013-05-05T03:19:29.573-04:00Hi there, first of all, thanks for sharing these p...Hi there, first of all, thanks for sharing these pictures.

Your statues do appear to be depicting the same story as my carved block. Probably these stories change slightly over time and as they travel from place to place. Your statues are boldly carved, and show the iconography quite clearly. <br /> <br />Often statues that look frightening are really meant to be protective and reassuring. Yours is displayed as part of a charming tableau, especially when Anita is visiting and part of the picture.<br />--Road to ParnassusParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-55149053242490996462013-03-23T06:34:42.965-04:002013-03-23T06:34:42.965-04:00Mariette, wunderschöne Holzchnitzereien.

Of course in Indonesia, snakes would get this large and be very frightening! Thank goodness, we live in a temperate climate where snakes stay relatively small, although still very dangerous if venomous! They are beautiful and mythical carvings.<br /> <br />Thank you for sharing!<br /><br />Hugs, Karen xoxoKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-67974342646356600442013-03-22T20:03:47.180-04:002013-03-22T20:03:47.180-04:00very detailed. i normally like oriental artwork, b...very detailed. i normally like oriental artwork, but these are quite scary. i'm not sure i'd enjoy having them.
