“A present to mom... absolutely gorgeous!”

I became a fan of your work instantly. Planning to get more in the future - really good quality, they carvings are gorgeous and good size. The candleholders have been in use for some time now already and I've got only good things to say!

“Incredible!”

These arrived today and they are breathtakingly beautiful! I am going to give one to my best friend. I have placed the one I am keeping next to a beautiful wood statue of Buddha. The artist who carved these is so talented!

“Second elephant art purchased from Gulam”

Precious piece and worried about arriving safe and sound. Relieved packaging was so secure took me removal of several layers of wrapping to get to box! Superb crafting of many elephants (my favorite creature) and love round design and substantial weight and size. Only disappointment is not off-white or ecru color as shown online, but a much darker brown or grayish shade. Nevertheless, love his work. Wish Gulam could bring back dyed/colored soapstone that he used to craft years ago. I have one of his pieces of a soapstone multi-colored elephant small box which I truly treasure.

“A great treasure.”

Beautiful artwork and craftsmanship are words that do not adequately describe the amazing piece. I have more of these pieces, and this statement applies to them all. Just BEAUTIFUL!!!
