Entirely hand-carved, this highly original piece represents the deity Semar. One of the clown deities of Javanese mythology, Semar is in fact a very wise, human-looking god. He is the guardian of the spirits of all Javanese people from their birth to the end of time. As such, he is the most sacred figure in wayang (shadow theater), and the most important to the Javanese people. Whether you're familiar with this culture or simply love unusual objects, this sign is a bargain not to be missed.
