"My husband loves it!"
I bought this wonderful figurine of a Yoga Beagle for my husband on the occasion of our wedding anniversary. My husbands dog is a beagle, whom he adores, and this was perfect. Its beautifully carved by Nengah Sudarsana, made all the more special because he signed it and we learned about him as an artist. Its takes pride of place amongst my husbands Buddha collection!! Thank you, Nengah, for creating such a fun, charming piece!
