Handsome and functional, the hand carved wood catchall is perfect for holding your small items and keepsakes at your desk, coffee table, or night stand.

This is now a cherished piece of art in my home”

I am extremely pleased with my new purchase. My sea turtle bowl is so beautifully handcrafted, I now hate to put anything in it. Sarwaedi is a talented craftsman - carver, and my bowl it truly a work of art. Thank you

I hung it up in my living room”

I like it! I have a cross wall and all of my crosses are unique. I like the meaning of this one. A good reminder to have Strong Faith.

A beautiful piece”

Very well done, delicate carving. I have it propped on a shelf in a bathroom. It makes a beautiful focal point for a small area.
