There are also painted and natural wooden masks, and a few antique pieces including a Javanese ceremonial dagger. Jewelry pieces range from $20 into the hundreds. At the entrance stands an eight-foot painted wooden carving of Garuda, the Indonesian god of vision and a symbol of protection for households; he can be yours for $12,500. Review © 2009, Wcities |
