The Story of Dewi Sri Bawang;

The old folkloric tale of two sisters Bawang Putih and Bawang Merah is known throughout Indonesia.

Bawang Merah is pure of heart, kind and generous to her family, nature and the natural world. While her sister Bawang Putih is mean spirited.  She is constantly bullies her sister Bawang Merah because she is jealous of Merah's kindness and beauty. 

Because of her sisters constant bullying  Bawang Merah is driven to the forest where Dewi Sri Bawang is blessed by the gods and nature for her kindness, and the golden bird is sent to protect her  .

This sculpture shows Dewi Sri Bawang's modesty and beauty and the gift from nature the golden bird.
