Parasite wood, or the more attractive term “Wood Rose , Jempinis wood”, is a malformation of a tree; most commonly the Chinaberry or Mango tree, caused by a parasite that embeds itself into the bark. The parasite growth is so hard and dense that it keeps its form long after the host tree has died and rotted away. These Wood Roses are then collected by talented Bali artisans to create carvings and display pieces, showing their unusual, natural beauty.

Due to the natural form of these pieces of wood no two are the same due to variances in size and colour. While we have tried to give you clear dimensions of our products they are offered as a guide only due to the nature of the product.
