“Gorgeous wooden heart held in hands”

This is an absolutely beautifully crafted piece. I got this piece because my son passed away recently and when I saw this I immediately thought of him, I felt like my heart is in his hands wherever he is, and well always be together. Im sure it can be interpreted in many ways and thats just one of the wonderful things about this heart held in two hands. The butterfly on the heart adds yet another sentimental and significant meaning to the sculpture.
