"Bali is known for its artists and artisans, from mask makers to woodcarvers to silversmith craftsmen. Each art form clusters in a village; Tampak Siring is home to bone carvers. Here you'll meet the people who carefully carve traditional Balinese patterns on bull and buffalo skulls. The village is pretty under the radar. We've never once seen another tourist here, but it's safe to assume that it draws creatives and collectors who appreciate the work of local artisans." - Anna Chittenden
