Approximate sizes as follows Size: H: 70.0 cm x W: 55.0 cm Size: H: 27.6 '' x W: 21.7 '' Weight: 0. 700 kg About The Artist Kumpul My name is Kumpal and I am from Bali, Indonesia, I am 39 years old and father of four children. I hold specialisation in crafting many different animal statues. I draw a great deal of inspiration from wild life and the horse has always been my favourite animal because of its speed and grace. We don't have alot of horses in the wild here in Bali, so most of my creation comes from my head and pictures i have seen. I have been associated with Siiren from almost seven years and my life changed dramatically after I stared working for them. The concept of fair trade is very much encouraging for me and my fellow craft workers. There is a huge responsibility on my shoulders to support my big family and previously our work was hardly appreciated and we had to wait to get our payments from local businessmen. Siiren has given my work its due acknowledgement and recognition and i now am able to make a living and plan for my families future I love to make new animals as i find this challenging and a real fun way to fill my days. Recently Siiren gave us the challenge of making something called a Meerkat. We have never seen this Meerkat before so found it very funny to see such a strange animal. It took alot of attempts but i think we have now managed to make them very well. About Siiren Siiren is a verified fair trade importer of exotic handicrafts.
