“Home”

A wonderful expression of artistic ability of the late Putra Suteja which reminds me of my home area: southeast asia. The essence of our region is captured in this piece for me.

“Looks great, intricate, different views,well made”

It looks great, intricate, and differently from every direction. Through the openings on the side you look at, you can see across to the the other side, adding a depth effect. Its well made, very smooth, clean finish, looks of a quality process, and with some shine / luster. Im very pleased with the item. It arrived very well packaged & protected.

“Adding joy to the holidays”

This beautiful creation will delight my twenty-year-old grandson when he opens it Christmas morning. I put a small tea light inside that highlights the intricate carving in this treasure. My grandson appreciates beautiful, creative artwork, and will delight in this addition to his growing collection. I cant thank you enough, dear Putra. Thank you.

“The Perfect Gift !!”

Im one of those people who takes special pride in the ability to find The Perfect Gift, and this is one of them -- in this case for my brother, whose taste is very particular and unlike my own. I wasnt sure but I took a chance and Bingo -- this totally hit the very narrow intersection of his taste and mine! He called me from Spain, raving about it, the design, the workmanship, the beauty of it -- thank you for helping me wish my beloved brother a happy birthday!

“Flying Dragon”

I had ordered this as a gift for my mother to add to her collection, and it would be a unique piece . I liked the photos online and was certain she would enjoy it when it arrived. WOW! It looked even better in person. The details were amazing! It is now the center of her collection. Absolutely beautiful. To the maker of this piece: Thank you for doing such great work and pride in your work Absolutely is reflected in this!
