This Elephant is Better than Described
I purchased one of these a few years ago. A few days ago, it was broken by a house cleaner. Inside were 6 additional elephants, rather than the 3 listed in the description. Four increasingly smaller elephants were standing on top of each other, and inside the two elephants on the bottom were two additional elephants! I can't even imagine the degree of skill needed to carve and elephant, inside of an elephant, inside of an elephant all out of stone and through such tiny holes. I have always loved this. I was happy to see that there were two remaining, because I just ordered a replacement. The artist is to be commended. Gulam Rasool is very, very talented.

Stunning Detail and Artistry in Wood
This the first sculpture I've ever purchased. When I ordered it, I was hoping it looked as beautiful as it does in the photo, and when it arrived I was happy to see that its even more beautiful in person. The detail and workmanship are breathtaking. Made Mulyani is a true artist. She breathed life into the wood. I've placed it in my living room where I look at it everyday day and it gives me great pleasure to see. I also was so impressed with the careful way the piece was packed and how quickly it arrived. So much artistry and creativity is reflected in the sculpture. The cost was so low for such a high quality work. Thank you for bringing a piece of beauty from Bali to my apartment in the Bronx.

Distinctive, wonderfully charming, superbly executed!
There must be many secrets to successful Jali openwork wood carving, and Suresh and Devender Garg are clearly masters of all of them. Such talent, what skills! This is one of those pieces where you continually ask yourself, "How could they do this"? It's a total delight and I am excited to have it in my home.
