IMO the quality of carving in this new sumatran (?) WOOD hit is very very good.
From surface to core there are two level of very detailed carving. :eek:

Thanks Mamat :)
No doubts: the same carver!
I found mine near Yogya.
Please, can you help me to know the name of wood used by the artist?

Sorry Mamat
Is the "Solo Ganesh with silver inserts" hit made by the same carver?
(The hit is just behind the two pics where there is the Sulawesi hit)
thanks
