Beyond beautiful.

This is so well crafted. I love the colors and "he" will join my myriad of other Eastern statues and Indian pieces. Ashish Mehta is a wonderful carver. I looked for years before I decided on this particular Ganesha. Truly lovely.

I was so excited to receive my Novica order. The packaging was excellent but the best part was the product. The statuette now sits at a prominent place in my living room. It gives me a warm and calm feeling every time I see it. The craftsmanship was excellent and I will continue to order from Novica.

Religious Sculpture

Bali’s Nyoman Sudiana has been creating religious sculptures with his family, a group of traditional carvers, from the time he was in elementary school. He is typical of the talented local artisans who carve their own, personal interpretations of their religions in unique local materials. Raul Ullloa Baylon is another example of a local artisan expressing his religion through his exquisite, unique dioramas. High in the Andes of Peru, he combines his painting and weaving techniques to make these unusual detailed religious dioramas. Both artisans from different sides of the planet exemplify NOVICA’s belief in encouraging and promoting local talent no matter where in the world it may be. We hope you enjoy!
