AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This sculptural piece, with its three serene faces joined in unity, invites reflection on the layered nature of human identity. In various spiritual and philosophical traditions, the number three represents wholeness — body, mind, and spirit; past, present, and future.

But beyond religious interpretation, this form can also be seen as a meditation on the self:

One face for the world — the part of us shaped by expectations and appearances.

One face for those close to us — the self we share in intimacy and trust.

And one face that no one sees — the inner world we keep hidden, where our truest thoughts and fears reside.

Together, these faces do not contradict, but complete one another. The unity of the sculpture suggests harmony, not fragmentation — a reminder that every person carries multitudes, and that self-understanding begins with accepting all our faces as one.

Seller's Story

For over a decade, we have travelled across Indonesia to curate unique interior pieces that reflect the country’s rich craftsmanship and cultural heritage. What began as annual trips to Indonesia, a family history descendant of Dutch Indies, and a passion for handmade objects has grown into the rich collection of design objects we offer today with pride. We specialise in sourcing authentic, artisanal pieces directly from small family-owned ateliers throughout Java, Bali, Sumatra and beyond. Our collection ranges from hand-carved décor and bronze sculptures to natural-material homeware. Each item is carefully selected for its craftsmanship, character, and story. We have over 10 years of experience working closely with Indonesian artisans. Because of this, our expertise lies in identifying high-quality workmanship, natural materials, and unique pieces that stand out. Every lot we list on Catawiki is personally inspected by us and supports the local communities and traditional techniques we deeply believe in.
