I already had a wood statuette of a ballerina by Eke, then when I saw this, I wanted it to put by the ballerina. The wood is so beautiful, as well as, Eka's workmanship. Thank you, Eka!

Such a beautifully made piece.

This is for my daughter who lost her firstborn child when he was 5 days old. He would now be 15 months old if he had lived. My daughter also recently had a little girl who was born on April 1st. So I wanted to give her a Mothers Day gift that would include both of her children. And this piece is perfect for the ages of the children and of course for how beautiful and how well it is made. I know my daughter will love it when I give it to her on 5-12-2019. The meaning behind it will forever be cherished. Thank you Made Wirata for this exquisite piece that was so perfectly made and so wonderfully wrapped. I love it, thank you!!!
