Déwi Śri
This female figure has been carved from wood and painted in many colours. It is wearing an elaborately decorated robe and a richly ornamented headdress. It is a depiction of Déwi Śri, one of the most popular deities of the Indonesian island of Bali. As the wife of the god Shiva and mother of the ripening rice, she is the focus of countless rituals to promote its fertility. Rice is not only a staple food, but also a source of life and wealth.
