When I visited Bali, I fell in love with the fact that almost everywhere you looked there were figures carved into rock or wood. Just walking down a lonely road deep in the island, the random stones on the side of the hill would be carved with all manners of gods and monsters.

I love to imagine what these good chiselers were thinking when they turned a lip this way or that.
