Cancer-Themed Hand-Carved Round Suar Wood Relief Panel - Cancer Firmament Folklore one with its trunk rolledThe lagoon Lerna was the sacred home of a giant crab, one of goddess Hera's servants, who sent the creature to fight Heracles in the myth of the twelve labors. Defeated by the demi god, Hera honored the crab's courage by transforming it into the constellation Cancer. This zodiac sign inspires Eka's newest relief panel, made from suar wood by local Balinese artisans, paying homage to the constellation of the sensitive, self protective and nurturing.
