So impressed by this elegant wood sculpture of the Buddha. Didn't know what alligator wood was, but it was very lovely. Love the details.

Perfect gift for a newly married couple!

I knew when I saw this sculpture that it would be the perfect gift for Maria and Christian! They are a loving, spiritual couple. To my surprise, they videotaped when they opened the beautifully, hand wrapped gift. Their delight, and Maria's tears provided me with all the glee and feedback I needed. Their expression of love and gratitude topped off this experience. I highly recommend this product as well as Novica. Each item I have purchased has been beautifully and personally crafted. And, each was lovingly wrapped and in beauty and to protect the sculpture during it's long trip from Bali. I will buy from Novica again...and again!

I absolutely love my figurine. It sits on my desk where I can see it everyday. I feel very calm and ready to work when I sit down at my desk. This is a wonderful piece of craftsmanship. I am very grateful to have it. Thank you.
