Ketut lives in a mountain village called Sebatu in central Bali. The villages of Bali specialize in just one export: the village specializes in carving wind chime pieces.
Ketut got her name through birth order. In the Bali culture, families name their children in the order in which they are born, male or female. In order of birth, their children are named Wyan, Made (Mahday), Yoman, and Ketut.

Customer Reviews
Poor workmanship. I would not recommended buying this product. It must have been a return. It came apart in several locations and is missing a section completely. Disappointed.

This is a truly beautiful wind chime. I don't think anyone would be unhappy with this product. I've always wanted a "teak" type wind chime and an elephant with an upturned trunk was impossible to pass up. The size and detail were well worth the reasonable price. I gave this product a five star rating even though one of the pieces was broken when I received it (the piece that supports the trunk). I do not believe this was a case of a defective product; but, a matter of poor packaging inside the shipping box. I believe my damaged package was a "fluke" and that most probably arrive in good condition. I am an artist and also do a lot of crafting, so I used a piece of bamboo I had on hand to repair it. Had I not had these skills, I would have returned it for a new one. I am very please with this purchase and have already received many compliments from my neighbors.

This is so cool and a lot bigger than it looks in the picture. I can't wait till it gets warm and I can put it outside on my porch.
I bought this item for my boss for Christmas. It was the best present she had ever recieved. The appearance and construction showed her that I gave much thought before purchasing it. The value was within my price range. Everyone was happy. Thanks Overstock!
