"Beautiful!"
I originally saw something like this while staying at a resort in Bali. Sadly, I could not find it there while I was visiting, but was thrilled to find it on Novica?s website. It is so much more beautiful in person and I am immensely happy with this purchase! It has become one of my favorite pieces in my home!

"Superb craftsmanship, but ...."
The woodwork on this sculpted owl is superb. Unfortunately, though, its main feature disappoints: the eyeglass holder wont hold any of my glasses. Quite disappointing.

"The Buddhidt goddess of mercy and compassion"
Beautiful sculpture of the figure I know by her Chinese name, Kwan Yin. Well crafted, expertly packed to avoid any damage in transit and arrived long before I expected her. She is something I will treasure forever!
