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.
