I bought this sculpture to sit on my bedroom dresser because what better place to celebrate the ultimate "Love of the Ages" epitomized by Rama & Sita? And, while the pictures on the Novica site are accurate, there's somehow no comparison to how amazingly awesome this sculpture is up close & personal. The "presence" of this sculpture comes across like a quad-shot of cosmic esspresso! The carving is exquisite, kind of jaw-droppingly so. As a trained artist & craftsperson, myself, I am humbled in its presence. Dearest Nyoman Subrata, though this is not the first beautiful carving of yours I own, & though each one is treasured, your Rama & Sita sculpture has now become one of the "crown jewels" in my collection of sacred art. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with me, for adding to the beauty of my home, & for the sublime awe I experience in the presence of your creations.

I knew when I saw this sculpture that it would be the perfect gift for Maria and Christian! They are a loving, spiritual couple. To my surprise, they videotaped when they opened the beautifully, hand wrapped gift. Their delight, and Maria's tears provided me with all the glee and feedback I needed. Their expression of love and gratitude topped off this experience. I highly recommend this product as well as Novica. Each item I have purchased has been beautifully and personally crafted. And, each was lovingly wrapped and in beauty and to protect the sculpture during it's long trip from Bali. I will buy from Novica again...and again!

I love how this artist takes something as basic as a piece of wood and turns it into a work of art. The geometry of this piece is simply divine. I'm regularly caught up in the motion of this sculpture.
