Wood statuette, 'Peacock Freedom'
By Bruce
Distinctive, wonderfully charming, superbly executed!
There must be many secrets to successful Jali openwork wood carving, and Suresh and Devender Garg are clearly masters of all of them. Such talent, what skills! This is one of those pieces where you continually ask yourself, How could they do this? Its a total delight and I am excited to have it in my home.
Soapstone sculpture, 'Mother of Triplets'
By JoMarie
This Elephant is Better than Described
I purchased one of these a few years ago. A few days ago, it was broken by a house cleaner. Inside were 6 additional elephants, rather than the 3 listed in the description. Four increasingly smaller elephants were standing on top of each other, and inside the two elephants on the bottom were two additional elephants! I cant even imagine the degree of skill needed to carve and elephant, inside of an elephant, inside of an elephant all out of stone and through such tiny holes. I have always loved this. I was happy to see that there were two remaining, because I just ordered a replacement. The artist is to be commended. Gulam Rasool is very, very talented.
Wood flower necklace, 'Elephant Shadow'
Handwork of a higher sort
What a lovely and incandescent piece this is. Simple yet involved. If you hold the pendant far away, you see the design of a plant curving up from the ground. Hold it closer, to the light, and you see the elephant behind the plant. Due to its generous size, it is a statement piece - but of quietude and natural things. The wood bead necklace is just as lovely in its simplicity. I love this piece and will wear it with honor throughout my life.
