"My husband loves it!"
I bought this wonderful figurine of a Yoga Beagle for my husband on the occasion of our wedding anniversary. My husbands dog is a beagle, whom he adores, and this was perfect. Its beautifully carved by Nengah Sudarsana, made all the more special because he signed it and we learned about him as an artist. Its takes pride of place amongst my husbands Buddha collection!! Thank you, Nengah, for creating such a fun, charming piece!

"Exquisite craftsmanship"
My hopes for the Pintail Duck sculpture were surpassed when I opened the box. It looked beautiful in the pictures and is even more so in reality. The detail and quality of artwork is exceptional. It captures everyones attention who gaze in its direction. Looking at it brings me such joy. I am ever so pleased with the duck that I have purchased two more and Have my eye on a third when it returns to stock.
