I ordered this not really knowing much about the Novica website or what they were about. I believe I saw an ad on Facebook. After browsing through the site and reading about the artists involved, I settled on the "Kiss Me" statue both for it's simplicity, and because it resembles the number 8- which also signifies "eternity". I was extremely nervous while my girlfriend opened the package (I left it unopened) and was pleasantly surprised by both the excellent craftsmanship, and the size of the carving. It was much bigger than I expected- but that was a good thing! More importantly, my significant other absolutely loved it! I highly recommend this item, and if all the items on this site are of similar quality I know that I will be a frequent shopper.

I also bought The Flute Player by this talented artisan. Both pieces are impressive, beautifully hand carved, and perfect color as well. Thank you!
