<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 362299, member: 2844&quot;]Yes, Hanuman, from Bali, carved from coromandel wood, which is now protected. So it is an older carving.</p><p>This is the more realistic style, where Hanuman has morphed into a macaque from the Sacred Monkey Forest near Ubud, Bali. They are the guardians of three temples in the forest:</p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Ft0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcQpPXQvE3KSv9LU8ylJY9BpGvPVVs_cJds1m3KcTTqKOLAsYCg46w&amp;sp=91fbb6e9015763efaed0b00e94c997ae&amp;anticache=601359" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The Monkey Forest is a favourite with tourists, and some tourists are favourite with the monkeys:</p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Ft0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcRsirjbYYxiV8A9T5G3yLTtDOvZqv4pYl3xOTq2aqzMVvsDT9cRKw&amp;sp=ba66fabb900188a98a377c84ceac889e&amp;anticache=236379" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Your Hanuman is wearing the &#039;salut poleng&#039;, a black and white sacred cloth associated with the outside walls of a temple complex. On the outside of a temple complex things are still black and white, a life of opposites, that is what the cloth represents. As you enter the temple, spiritual life is good.</p><p>Salut poleng is often draped around stone statues of temple guards, and is worn during some ceremonies. In your carving Hanuman is represented with the salut poleng to emphasize his protective qualities.</p><p>Salut poleng:</p><p><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cxFSnodf1qY/TeMqtfocrEI/AAAAAAAAAAU/1x45GBu_8_U/s320/poleng2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thesiracusas.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2011%2F05%2FIMG_2898.jpg&amp;sp=2b97a3357a9d48c22a3a3cbb4cc4b29f" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
