Wood and bamboo root sculpture, 'Chef Duck'
By Michaela
Beautiful carving!
I collect chef figurines. This one fit right in and even stands out due to its size. I really like this piece. It is in my curio right in front for all to see.
Bamboo root and wood sculptures, 'Duck Wedding' (pair)
By Brenda
These wedding ducks are gorgeous and so typical of Susi high quality work!
I had to have these wedding ducks and some day my grandsons will receive them on their special wedding day. Hope these ducks stay in the family for generations.
Upcycled metal sculpture, 'Mighty Aztec Eagle'
By Linda
My Montezuma
Harkens or recalls early studies and recent readings about the evolution of Aztec civilization. Very noble in appearance and lends power to my own physical health. Beautiful detail.

Animal Sculpture
In many cultures, since ancient times, animals have been the subject of many prolific artists' greatest pieces of art, including México’s designer Angel Ceron’s depiction of man’s best friend via his ceramic animal sculptures. In many of Mexico’s pre-Hispanic cultures, the dog, who is believed to see spirits, was depicted as loyal leader walking the master’s soul to the realm of the dead. For the playfully, sometimes mischievous and curious one, the “Three Monkeys’ has been immortalized by Nyoman Karsa, in a carefully hand carved Balinese suar wood statuette “seeing no evil, speaking no evil and hearing no evil.” From the owl, cat, hummingbird, the horse, penguin, lion, swans and more, NOVICA offers an abundance of animal sculptures to match you or your loved one with your favorite animal.
