'Amalgamation Rama and Sita,' mask

Portrayed blissfully, cheek to cheek, Rama and Sita epitomize the loving couple. In the Hindu Ramayana epic, Sita is exiled in the forest along with her husband Rama. An evil ogre king kidnaps her, holding her captive in his island palace. With the help of the white monkey general and his army, Rama rescues Sita. She returns home and assumes her rightful place as queen. I Nyoman Subrata sculpts this extraordinary mask from suar wood. NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers.
