Thoughtful Man is exquisite!”

I was expecting excellence (because of the descriptive pictures) and thats what I got! I Love Thoughtful Man! Its very well done and eye catching. I was quite surprised that mine came two-toned, but (in my eye) thats what makes it exquisite for me. The height and overall size is perfect. The ebony and lighter side are blended and done to perfection. Ive also ordered a set of 5 elephants, and now, Im Really excited about getting them! Actually, they should be waiting when I get home tonight! :) Novica is my new shopping place for sculptures!
