Gembira Bird with Movable Head Made of Albesia Wood, 80 cm
The Gembira Bird adds a lively atmosphere to any living space with its gently swaying head and expressive eyes. The hand-carved artwork made of lightweight Albesia wood stands securely on a stable base and captivates with its detailed design featuring fine feather structures. Thanks to a robust metal spring, the head responds even to light touches, appearing to nod curiously or approvingly.
Gembira – Joy in Motion
The name “Gembira” means “cheerful” or “in a good mood” in Indonesian – a quality that this special bird embodies with every movement. In Bali, movable figures like this are not just decorative elements but symbolically contribute to the positive energy in gardens and entryways. The Gembira Bird is therefore more than just a sculpture: it brings a smile and a cheerful mood every day.
Light and Artistic – Albesia Wood Meets Loving Details
Made from sustainable Albesia wood, this figure is characterized by its light weight and easy handling. The precisely carved details, from the distinctive eyes to the delicate feather crest, give the bird a lively character. The interplay of black, brown, and cream tones harmoniously fits into modern as well as ethnically inspired living styles.

Dealer Note
Serayu Craft offers a unique shopping experience in Bali: two neighboring stores that couldn't be more different. While one presents a large selection of wooden figures like monkeys, hippos, and Buddhas, the other impresses with friendly service and extraordinary furniture pieces – such as glass tables with elephant or octopus legs. A visit is worthwhile, preferably outside of lunchtime.
Handmade and Individuality
Each Gembira Bird is carefully hand-carved and painted. The use of Albesia wood and the individual attachment of the metal spring lead to small differences in shape, color, and mobility – a distinctive feature of true Balinese craftsmanship.
