Wood sculpture, 'Let Peace In'
By Theodore
Beautiful Buddha
Well-carved Buddha statue. Not an understatement to describe the artist who created it as a master carver. A beautiful, elegant, serene and meditative image of the Buddha. The perfect addition to any room. Nice on a shelf or your desk. A truly wonderful item.
Wood sculpture, 'Beloved Saint'
By Fernando
Wonderful New Saint
I already have a favorite carver among Novica s group of artisans. Or so I thought. I decided to try Juan and Carolina s work and am pleased to say I am delighted by their piece. I have a wonderful new Saint Francis to add to my collection. The carving is well proportioned. The color palette is very nice. (The “antiquing” is not needed.) They have a good eye for detail. I like the way they handled adding the birds to the piece. I will watch for other pieces carved by them and will most likely buy a another one that catches me eye. Thank you for including this talented couple with your artisans.
Ceramic nativity scene, 'Inuit Family' (8 pieces)
By Cathleen
So different
I collect Nativity scenes made in different countries with different ethnic themes. This is the only Eskimo one i have. Just adorable and not huge. As I have so many now, I really appreciate the smaller size. Always like the different interpretation of the animals with the different ethnic scenes and just love the polar bears and penguin. Highly recommend for both quality of workmanship and unique interpretation.
