The Story of Winged Guardians
The Flying Winged Spirit Guardians (also sometimes called "Cradle Guardians") have roots deeply in Balinese culture and art. These Guardian figures are still produced by Balinese artisans today for they have deep cultural & spiritual significance. Typically these carvings have been used in temples or homes since ancient times to ward off evil spirits. They are always hung in a high spot, or if a statue placed on a beam or shelf looking down towards a door or window. Many types may be found from flying angels (known as "Dewi" which means "Goddess" in Balinese), animals or strange hybrids, such as head of a horse head & tail of a fish, or "Gajamina" head of an elephant & tail of a fish. It is believed that a Flying Guardian placed in one's home or sacred space will drive away evil spirits and protect the premises from harm.
We have worked directly with Balinese artist and crafts people since 1988. During Maine's freezing cold winters we return to Bali and our island home. While there we collaborate with the Balinese (mostly family & friends) and create special offerings for our shop. We believe our offerings should be culturally significant using local sustainable materials and craftsmanship whenever possible. Thus in turn keeping the arts alive in ever evolving fast changing Bali in the world of globalization, while enriching the lives of our family & friends whom we work with by creating a market for the beautiful art of Bali.
We also carefully curate unique one of a kind art objects and antiques and artifacts.
