"Stunning artwork"
The picture and description don‘t do the sculpture justice - within the egg, there is a small elephant, which itself is also executed in intricate jali style. I bought this as a present, and the recipients were amazed by the level of detail and the great craftsmanship that went into the creation of this beautiful carving.

"Delicately beautiful"
I bought this item as a birthday gift for one of my Sisters. She absolutely loved it. I was not able to see it in person right away since we live in different States, but when I did see it, I wished I had ordered one for myself! The design is intricate, and very well done.
