Hand-painted egg (lukisan telur) by the gifted and talented Made Muliana in Bali, Indonesia. This one-of-a-kind piece is adorned with exquisitely detailed depictions of Hindu deities Saraswati and Ganesha, offering blessings and protection. Saraswati, goddess of knowledge, art, and learning, presides over abstract wisdom, while Ganesha, lord of intellect, beginnings, and the removal of obstacles, embodies practical intelligence. Representing the right and left mind respectively, they are often revered together as symbols of wisdom, prosperity, and success.
Goddess Saraswati immersed in the sacredness of nature.
Encircling them are foliage, flowers, creatures, instruments, and ceremonial weapons — each rendered with remarkable intricacy upon the curved surface, a demanding task in itself. The egg becomes a striking masterpiece, carrying the spirit of Bali’s culture and devotion in the palm of the hand.

As every egg is unique, Muliana’s works feature a wide array of Hindu deities, divine figures, and mythic landscapes, each offering its own meanings and protections. A sacred and radiant treasure to add to the coffee table.
