This item was purchased as an anniversary gift for my brother and his wife. The beauty and smoothness of the wood was remarkable. They loved it! Wish I had ordered one for myself

We were looking for a 10 year anniversary gift for a staff member of our non-profit and wanted to do something different. We chose this piece because our work is with children and families, and felt that the statue captured that beautifully. We'll be mounting it on a marble base with a personalize plaque, and know she will absolutely love it! Now we just need to get one for our office! Thank you Wayan!

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.
