"What a beautiful treasure you have carved!"
This is the second treasure I have purchased from Mr. Rasool and each piece is beautiful. Someday I would like to see how the carvings are done, such intricate pieces of art. Thank you Mr. Rasool.

"small but mighty"
This is the smallest of my Buddha sculptures. It is calming to hold or look at. The white alabaster gets attention and is beautiful. I am now a fan of Gulam Rasool.

"great home"
looks amazing and works beautifully, my wax has melted all over and has created an almost jade like finish. i get compliments if i leave it out when people come over. just take the top off and drop a tea light in and with a match or stick burner light it up.
