The Craft Hotel Ubud

Object No. TER-020
Tribal Motif Polychrome Mosaic Urn
Physical Description:

A tall, high-shouldered terracotta vessel featuring a wide, flared rim and a tapered base, meticulously decorated with high-contrast graphic ornamentation. The body is divided into rhythmic horizontal registers using the Kuas hand-painting technique, showcasing a variety of traditional-inspired motifs including bold Giri (mountain) triangles, spiraling heart-shaped scrolls, and geometric floral diamonds. These stark black-on-white painted sections are separated by structural bands of hand-set alabaster glass mosaic, which add a subtle, reflective shimmer to the vessel’s matte surface. The composition balances complex, repeating tribal patterns with clean architectural lines, resulting in a sophisticated fusion of traditional Balinese graphic art and luminous, contemporary mosaic detail.
