Kelana Wooden Duck: Combination of Bamboo Root & Suar Wood, natural color, approx. 35 cm
Our Kelana Wooden Duck impresses with its proud pose and the distinctive plumage made of bamboo root. The head and legs are carefully hand-carved from Suar wood, while the body is made from untreated bamboo root. This gives each figure its own character and a lively wood grain, making it a special decorative highlight with personality. Perfect for your home, whether in the hallway, on a shelf, or on a desk.
The name "Kelana" – a little journey of discovery
"Kelana" means "the wanderer" in Indonesian. This meaning is reflected in the curious and lively aura of the wooden duck. In Balinese gardens, ducks often symbolize liveliness and the harmonious connection of water and earth – values that our Kelana Wooden Duck charmingly embodies.
Diversity of materials meets craftsmanship
Suar wood is known for its distinctive grain and stability, ideal for intricate carvings. The head, legs, and feet of the duck are made from it. The body consists of untreated bamboo root, which, with its individual texture and color, makes each figure unique. This combination gives the Kelana Wooden Duck its unmistakable appearance.

Dealer's note
Serayu Craft offers a very special shopping experience. The two adjacent shops operate independently and are located directly opposite the duck center, where hundreds of ducks are made daily.
Shop one is run by a rather reserved owner and offers a wide variety of wooden figures such as monkeys, hippos, cobras, turtles, ducks, and Buddhas.
The second shop has a friendly atmosphere, even if English is not spoken. Here, communication is done with hands and feet, especially during price negotiations, and you can find extraordinary pieces like glass tables with elephant or octopus feet. A tip: The shop is often closed during lunchtime.
Handmade & Uniqueness
Each Kelana Wooden Duck is completely handcrafted. The combination of Suar wood and bamboo root ensures natural differences in color, texture, and shape – a true sign of Balinese craftsmanship.
