Description
Galu Guruva its a name of one of the fish in Maldivian language "Dhivehi".
The most ancient Maldivian wood carvings are a wonder to behold that a Maldivian craftsman, armed with a few rudimentary tools could carve, smoothen and finish such a master work is a testament to their dedication of the craft.
More recent times have seen a concentration on smaller hand made wood carvings such as vases, jewelry boxes and ornamental dhonis (traditional boats) but even though these may be smaller in size, their artistic value, especially when supplemented by lacquer designs, remains intact.
