Wood sculpture, 'Sarwangasana Mermaid'
By YVONNE
It is filled with something rather wonderful
I bought this for a dear friend. I call her a Mermaid, and she loves Yoga. I truly think the craftsman put himself into the figure as he worked. When it arrived I just stared at it, and put it in the sunshine, still beautifully wrapped. Visitors sat and stared too. I sent it on to my friend, who had the same reaction. She said it was as if each layer of wrapping was a prayer. It may sound fanciful but this is a very special Lady.

Wood sculpture, 'Rama and Sita Reclining'
By Debra
Wow! This sculpture is Awesome!
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, theres 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.
