"A very pretty, colorful decorative box from India."
This box is one of three very lovely and beautifully decorated boxes I have from this artisan. Cheerful Flare is painted in flowers that represent the flowers of the Kashmir Valley in India. It has many beautiful colors, including red, rose, orange, green and purple! A very pretty box.

"A beautiful Valentines Day gift"
I purchased this box as a sweet gift for my 18-year old for Valentines Day. It arrived in plenty of time, and was incredibly beautiful. I was a little apprehensive just because of the medium used, but since I have had such lovely experiences with Novica in the past, I went ahead and purchased it. I had no idea that papier mache could come out so beautifully. The quality of the workmanship was beyond what I was hoping for. It was absolutely meticulously made and packaged beautifully as well. Thanks so much!

"A lovely red box with elegant gold chinar flowers."
This box is one of three very lovely and beautifully decorated boxes I have from this artisan. Red Golden Bouquet is painted with chinar flowers that grow in the Kashmir Valley in India. It is an elegant box and I like it very, very much.
