"Incredible!"
These arrived today and they are breathtakingly beautiful! I am going to give one to my best friend. I have placed the one I am keeping next to a beautiful wood statue of Buddha. The artist who carved these is so talented!

"A very unique gift"
I was looking for a unique gift to give to a family member when I saw this soapstone box. It was perfect. It was actually larger than I expected, and the carving was beautifully done.
