Wood Carving Bali

The Mas Village Ubud does have many galleries. But only few is worth your time if you are a serious collector of wood sculptures. I would recommend the Manis Gallery (huge collectionof master-pieces and work by anonymous carvers), the Tilem Galleries (the small galleries include of mostly expensive master-pieces) and the private huge galleries of master-carver Wayan Mudana (truly a genius). There is also a huge galleries of quality pieces in the Taksu Bali Gallery in Peliatan (opposite the babi guling restaurant). The pieces by anonymous carvers are very reasonable price-list. You can easily get 50% discount, if you are willing to spend USD 1000, you can get a museum quality sculpture that will delight you for live. They can take care for shipping for you too at very reasonable cost. If you are not buying wood sculpture in Ubud, you have come here for nothing. There is art market near Ubud center is a dump that you should skip completely unless you are interested in penis-shaped key chains.

This is an amazing local knowledge of the native village of Mas Ubud. From the author’s observation that calculates the surrounding villages with an area of about 49km2 and population of nearly 3000 inhabitants, it was found that an astonishing fact. There are 10 pieces of banyan trees still alive growing around the village of Mas. There are three pieces of striking on the roadside village are still many and memorable haunted. Could be mistaken author’s calculation, because there are many large trees were not the authors include in the calculation. Temlenear the parkthere Jambe Buk 2 large banyan tree, and a little to the south near Market Pekaraman 2 pieces large banyan tree that shaded the street merchants selling.


When you are in Bali do not miss this one place, A good village potency rich art, culture, ecology and religion, From Denpasar is only 20 kilometers to the direction or heading to Park City Tampak Siring. A unique blend of creative art diversity of the population with the villagers of adherence to the rules of customary and religious, Mas Ubud makes it as one of the important tourism destinatiomn in Bali.
