In 2018, UC Silver Gold unveiled a record-breaking marvel: The Naga Sanga Amurwabhumi. Officially recognized by MURI (Indonesian World Records Museum) as the largest and heaviest 925 sterling silver statue in the country, this masterpiece is a testament to unparalleled Balinese craftsmanship.
The Art of Persistence
Sculpted over five grueling years, this spectacular dragon spans 20 meters in length and weighs a staggering 720 kilograms. Conceptualized by the visionary I Nyoman Eriawan and brought to life by UC Silver Gold’s master artisans, every inch of the dragon was forged by hand using intricate, traditional Balinese inlay techniques.
The Power of Nine
More than just a feat of engineering, the statue’s nine interconnected heads carry a profound spiritual message. In Balinese Hindu philosophy, the number nine represents the Dewata Nawa Sanga (the nine gods of the cardinal directions) who maintain harmony across the universe. It serves as a majestic symbol of unity and the balance of life.
