Superb!

Product picture

I ordered 3 pieces at the same time after having them in my wish list for a very long time. I am so pleased that I eventually decided to "go for it"! Beautiful workmanship, delivery instructions followed, well packaged and nice knowing I have something unique as it is handmade. The only thing is there was lots and lots of paper used as packaging, so whilst it kept the product safe it did take a lot of space in the recycle bin. Very happy with my purchases, would not hesitate to buy more from this talented sculptor.

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.

Love the carving!

I have been looking for ages for a ‘four faces of Buddha’ in this size. I was delighted to find this at a reasonable price and the quality and detail of the faces carving is superb. Highly recommended. JT
