Air Terjun Birdbath – Round stone bowl on artistically curved Frangipani base, 100 cm
The name "Air Terjun" means "waterfall" in Indonesian and reflects the flowing, curved shape of the base, which gives the birdbath a special liveliness. This unique design makes it an attractive highlight in any garden, on the terrace, or in the courtyard.
The round stone bowl rests on an elegantly curved column, adorned with intricate Frangipani flowers and leaf motifs. The handcrafted Frangipani flowers – known as "Jepun" in Bali – symbolize purity, life, and tropical beauty. With a total height of 100 cm and a diameter of about 60 cm, the birdbath offers ample space for birds to drink or bathe.
Made from reinforced stone cast, the Air Terjun birdbath combines traditional Balinese craftsmanship with high stability. The curved base gives it a delicate lightness, while the durable material ensures a long lifespan. In addition to its function as a birdbath, it can also be used as a stylish plant bowl or decorative element. Please note that the material is not frost-resistant, and the birdbath should be protected or covered during winter.
Balinese Stone Cast Art – Craftsmanship with Floral Ornaments
Stone carving has a long tradition in Bali. While temple sculptures are often carved from solid natural stone, artisans use artistically crafted stone cast for decorative objects. This process allows for fine details and delicate shapes that capture the beauty of Balinese ornaments.
A particularly popular motif is the Frangipani flower, known as "Jepun" in Bali. It represents beauty, purity, and spiritual renewal and can be found everywhere on the island – in carvings, rituals, and lush gardens. To immortalize this pattern in stone, experienced craftsmen create detailed reliefs into which a mixture of natural stone, sand, and cement is poured. This is often done in several layers to ensure a fine yet robust surface. For additional durability, the stone cast is reinforced internally, preventing cracks and maintaining structural stability.
After curing, the surface is refined by hand: contours are worked out, and unevenness is carefully smoothed. Designs that are combined with layered glass are particularly appealing, as this captures light in fascinating ways and creates a special atmosphere depending on the time of day.
Each piece is unique, marked by the individual structure of the cast and the careful craftsmanship of Balinese artisans. This creates a connection between traditional craftsmanship and modern design, bringing tropical elegance to any outdoor space.
