Default Recent carved Ganesha Bali handle
I have just bought this recent carved Ganesha Bali handle from black wood. It comes from a new ebay seller from Bali and the handles he offered are carved by his father, brother and by himself. Good to see that the better carving art on Bali is still alive!
Here the pictures for your enjoy!

Hi Detlef,

Agreed - but it still a lot better than some of the junk that's out there!

Regards,

Dan

Question
Has anyone besides me seen the TV show Final Offer ?

If they have; did they see the $239,000.00 Balinese keris handle portraying Lord Ganesha ?

A masterpiece .

I like this Hindu God very much, so much that I have a tattoo from him on my shoulder, pierced on Bali!

Detlef, do you happen to know whether he also supply his hilt to local (Balinese) keris smith? I'm curious to know remembering Alan remark on the other thread about how scarce keris Bali is. Thanks.
