Wood statuette, 'Iguana on a Rock'

Climbing deliberately up a rock ledge, an iguana clasps the rough terrain with strong toes as he wends his way toward the sun. Ketut Taram sculpts the lizard in exquisite detail, from its spiky spine and reptilian eyes to its myriad, delicate scales. Using Balinese akasia wood, he creates an unforgettable image of local fauna.
