The Wilderness in Balinese Craftsmanship
Although zebras are not native to Indonesia, their distinctive beauty inspires artists around the globe. In Bali, where wood carving has a long tradition, skilled artisans interpret well-known animal motifs in their own unique way. This Zebra Wall Mask conveys the characteristic stripes and proud posture of the zebra through the artistic design of Balinese masters. Thus, a fascinating decorative piece with exotic flair is created.
Traditional Carving Meets Delicate Painting
For the production of this mask, selected Albesia wood is used, valued for its lightness and good workability. Masterful carvers shape the zebra head with traditional tools, giving it its distinctive form. Subsequently, the detailed hand painting brings the iconic black and white striped pattern to life. Each mask is a unique piece that combines traditional carving art with the finest painting technique.

Vendor Note
Wulan Wood Carving is run by an older, experienced artist – a small workshop right on the road to Bali's largest rice field. Although it is a traditional family business, there is currently no one to take over the workshop. The masks and wooden figures are of outstanding quality and reflect the long history of the business.
Handcraft Note
Each Zebra Wall Mask is created with careful handwork. The natural texture of the wood and the traditional carving and painting techniques result in individual differences in color, shape, and pattern. These small variations are expressions of authentic Balinese craftsmanship and make each piece a unique artwork.
