This jar is so well made. You can tell that the artist takes pride in their work. Everything was perfect. More beautiful then the photo. Lid fits very well with no wobble. Simply beautiful.

"Absolutely Gorgeous"
I have to preface this review by saying that I am Novicas #1 fan. I love their mission and the artisans, and my home is a Novica showplace because I so love the works of art I have been able to purchase here, from around the world. This amazing box is no exception. Its just a gorgeous piece. Beautiful in its design and coloring. I had to purchase it as soon as I saw it and am so pleased that I did. It was an early Christmas present for me!! What an amazing value as well. It arrived in excellent condition, as do all of my shipments from Novica. I cant recommend this seller enough. I am quite sure you will be as pleased with your purchase as I am with this one! Many thanks to the Huaman Paucar Family and Novica!! I will be back to purchase another of their lovely pieces, but may actually have to part with it as a gift for a loved one. (Cant hog em all!)

"Very beautiful"
Its very beautiful. The artists made a very good job. It would be better if they had used a stronger rope for hanging.
