Perfect gift for a newly married couple!

Product picture

I knew when I saw this sculpture that it would be the perfect gift for Maria and Christian! They are a loving, spiritual couple. To my surprise, they videotaped when they opened the beautifully, hand wrapped gift. Their delight, and Maria's tears provided me with all the glee and feedback I needed. Their expression of love and gratitude topped off this experience. I highly recommend this product as well as Novica. Each item I have purchased has been beautifully and personally crafted. And, each was lovingly wrapped and in beauty and to protect the sculpture during it's long trip from Bali. I will buy from Novica again...and again!

Love my gato!

I love this well made wooden cat, it is so beautiful and well made. My real cat sits and stares at it - so she is in love with it too. It is Beautiful - thank you, you are very talented!

Beautiful Statuette

I have several of John Barrow's sculptures and love them all; I admire the skill that goes into them. This owl conveys a sense of quiet wisdom and deep thinking.
