“Exquisite Detail”

Im delighted with this gorgeous soapstone box. I have purchased several other items from Gulam in the past, and I love his work, but this box is so far my favorite. In fact, I love it so much that Ive ordered a second one.

Like any beautiful box While it's made for jewelry ot other small items, I think it is best as an eye-catching display item

“Gift for my bridesmaid”

I love love love the work of this artist. These handcrafted jali soapstone treasures were gifts for my bridesmaids and Maid of Honour at our wedding. I wanted to thank my ladies with something that took human work and consideration and that shared some natural beauty of our world. I was so glad to be able to give back to the artist too. They are gorgeous, beautifully conceived and crafted. Forever grateful!

“Perfect!”

A small, yet perfect box to store small jewelry or treasures. A conversation piece when placed on a table or shelf in ones home. The intricate carving is beautiful.

“Beautiful, delightfu!, and meaningful!”

I ordered these in addition to the soapstone carved box. I have a thing for elephants. They are beautifully carved and hold a carving within a carving. There is another smaller elephant just visible within. For me, it symbolically represents each of our species carry the future within, along with the wisdom and the hope to endure and survive. Elephant figurines with their trunks curved down represent wisdom and the abiity to overcome obstacles. I would like to think they speak to the even deeper wisdom carried within.....Ancestral and what is even deeper within us that is available to us to draw upon.
