"Impressive Sculpture"

This Maroon Lion sculpture is even more impressive in reality than the photo; I was delighted with my purchase! The colours are really vibrant with intricate carvings, and it has a substantial and weighty feel to the piece. I highly recommend this artist.

"SO DISAPPOINTED!!!"

I bought this for a 50th wedding anniversary and vow renewal gift for a very special couple. I wanted something unique and meaningful. I was very excited to find these carvings online. When I opened the package I was shocked...and not in a good way. The painting is sloppy and the carving is nondescript. It looks NOTHING like the picture. You cant even tell that it is a heart they are holding. There is NO WAY I can give this to them as a gift. I would be mortified. It looks so cheap. I am SO DISAPPOINTED! I wish I could have given it zero stars. I have no idea how I am going to come up with another gift in such a short amount of time now.

"Interesting conversation piece."

This sculpture describes my struggles with relationship. To me it represents patience, true love and with communicating one can reach true happiness and love, the true struggles of relationships, is what this sculpture represents for me. Thank you for the wonderful hand craved piece. It is a special piece that compliments my collection .
