amazon sculpture

The minute I saw this beauty on the Novica site I knew it was made for me. I absolutely love the bright colors and the tropical and friendly feathered theme. It is substantial in size so you can fully appreciate the artistry and looks perfect on the carved wooden stand. A true work of art - you won't be disappointed!

I have several animals made by Jon Anderson (tortoise, elephant, ram, tree frog, gecko), and they are all gorgeous. He is an amazing artist. I am thrilled that some of his items are now available on Novica because I can support his art and Novica at the same time. All of the decoration on the animals was made by manipulating the clay; none of it is painted on. The technique is impressive, but what I love about his animals are their expressions and grace. They embody joy.

Every since finding some of Jon Anderson's creatures in a gift shop in St. Augustine, I have been a big fan. The detail work is just astonishing. I will buy from Novica again, as the packaging was VERY beautiful and very protective for the long journey from Bali. Great communication on their end, as well as updates on shipping. It arrived a week earlier than expected. This baby snake will be a keepsake for years to come.
