"Unique find"
I ordered this figuring along with 3 other pieces from Yudi Suardi - The carving is superb and the placement on each pedestal is masterfully done. I love his interpretation of waves from the natural wood. As a standalone piece the dolphin is small, but elegant. With multiple figurines, the uniqueness of each piece creates a lively oceanic scene. Also, the way the pieces are packaged are impressive- each one is beautifully wrapped and would make a stunning gift :)
