Wow! This sculpture is Awesome!
I bought this sculpture to sit on my bedroom dresser because what better place to celebrate the ultimate "Love of the Ages" epitomized by Rama & Sita? And, while the pictures on the Novica site are accurate, there's somehow no comparison to how amazingly awesome this sculpture is up close & personal. The "presence" of this sculpture comes across like a quad-shot of cosmic esspresso! The carving is exquisite, kind of jaw-droppingly so. As a trained artist & craftsperson, myself, I am humbled in its presence. Dearest Nyoman Subrata, though this is not the first beautiful carving of yours I own, & though each one is treasured, your Rama & Sita sculpture has now become one of the "crown jewels" in my collection of sacred art. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with me, for adding to the beauty of my home, & for the sublime awe I experience in the presence of your creations.

Valentine's Day Gift
I ordered this not really knowing much about the Novica website or what they were about. I believe I saw an ad on Facebook. After browsing through the site and reading about the artists involved, I settled on the "Kiss Me" statue both for it's simplicity, and because it resembles the number 8- which also signifies "eternity". I was extremely nervous while my girlfriend opened the package (I left it unopened) and was pleasantly surprised by both the excellent craftsmanship, and the size of the carving. It was much bigger than I expected- but that was a good thing! More importantly, my significant other absolutely loved it! I highly recommend this item, and if all the items on this site are of similar quality I know that I will be a frequent shopper.
