Burung Birdbath: Stone Bowl on Artistic Frangipani Base, 110 cm
With the
Burung Birdbath, you bring a piece of tropical flair to your garden. The name
Burung means
bird in Indonesian and symbolizes the lightness and joy that this garden object radiates. It is a delight to observe the feathered visitors drinking or bathing in the stylish water bowl.
The bowl rests on an artistically crafted square base made of numerous handcrafted Frangipani flowers. With a height of
110 cm, the ornate stone bowl provides birds with an elegant water source. The Frangipani flowers (in Balinese “Jepun”) represent
purity and life, complemented by decorative leaf motifs that harmoniously round off the tropical design.
Made from
reinforced stone cast, the
Burung Birdbath combines traditional Balinese craftsmanship with durable quality. The two separate parts – base and bowl – allow for easy transport and simple assembly. Please note that the birdbath is
not frost-resistant and should be protected during winter.
Balinese Stone Casting Art – Delicate Floral Details
Stone processing has a long tradition in Bali. While temple sculptures are usually made of solid natural stone, artisans use artistic stone casting for decorative objects. This method allows for particularly fine and detailed ornaments that reflect traditional Balinese design.
A popular motif is the
Frangipani flower (Balinese: “Jepun”), which stands for
beauty, purity, and spiritual renewal. It is ubiquitous in Bali – from carvings to offerings to tropical gardens. The patterns are transferred by experienced artisans as reliefs into molds.
A mixture of natural stone, sand, and cement is poured into these molds – often in several layers to achieve a particularly fine and stable surface. For increased durability, the stone cast is
reinforced, which prevents cracking and enhances longevity.
After curing, finishing touches are made: contours are refined to make the patterns appear more three-dimensional, and unevenness is smoothed out. Particularly appealing are combinations with layered glass, which captures light and creates a special atmosphere depending on the time of day.
Each piece is unique, shaped by the individual stone structure and the careful craftsmanship of Balinese artisans. This creates a harmonious mix of tradition and contemporary design that brings tropical elegance to any outdoor space.
