It's not easy to find a good quality depiction of a mallard hen -- most statuettes are of the drake -- perhaps because the markings on the hen are delicate and subtle. The artist has done a wonderful job here, and I'm very happy with it. It occupies an honored place in our home.
When we received the statue yesterday, I was completely speechless. This model was gorgeous and beautifully made. I was especially pleased with the care they took in wrapping the item to make sure it was so well protected from damage. Everything from the handwritten thank you note to the handwritten autograph of the artist made this statue that much more special. I will be ordering from Novica from now on instead of Cabelas or any of the other outdoor companies. The quality and detail is superior!
This product was better than they described and it looked better in person than in the pictures. The craftsmanship was beautiful. Also, When I received the package it was nicely wrapped with a hand made ornament on the outside which was a nice touch. Also it was packed very well to prevent damage in shipping. I would recommend this product and artist and defiantly buy from this artist again.
