Tew Nai Tong was known to traverse the region extensively to capture the splendour of local traditions and life’s simple pleasures. The profusion of offerings to the Gods and spirits are a daily ritual in the Balinese culture and this vibrant painting portrays the artist’s observation of one such captivating scene. Five ladies are illustrated in Nai Tong’s signature style of painting carrying baskets of offerings on their heads. The procession is typically performed by a group of females as a sign of gratitude to Gods of the temple.
