Gulam has been honored with the same distinction. He still works alongside his son and other artisans to whom he has taught this craft, and treasures the role he plays in continuing this important Indian artistic tradition.
Gulam Rasool has received 4 microcredit loans with 0% interest from Kiva and Novica, the first for $400 and the most recent for $1800.
Nearing his eighth decade, master stone sculptor Gulam Rasool continues to provide for his family, especially his grandchildren.
This artist is an elder master and continues to actively practice their craft.
Gulam is proud to be able to help provide for his grandchildren's education.
"Beautiful and functional"
I wanted to try this as a natural way to diffuse scented oils. It works well and it's lovely.

"What a Beautiful Piece of Work!"
When I first saw Agra Owls by Gulam Rasool on Novica, I was fascinated with his artistic work but when I opened the package I was stunned with Mr. Rasool's unique and intense work of art. I love owls but the Agra Owls bring you to a higher level of appreciation . Not only is this an outstanding piece, but the natural soapstone heats the oil quickly and allows the oil to provide an outstanding fragrance. The Agra Owls makes a perfect gift to others or to yourself. Thank you Mr. Rasool for your awesome talent!

"Fabulous owls to delight our home :)"
This beautifully decorated package made me smile as I noted the heft of the carving inside, and I couldn?t wait to unwrap my new treasure. The substantial striated stone and intricate character carving makes this sculpture a unique piece of art. The artisan is truly gifted and shares such a fine skill via the likable faces of wise owls. I am about to order several more for gifts.
