Stylyized African Sculpture

I received this sculpture last night and I am very pleased with it. It looks very much like the image on Novica. I just need to figure out someplace to put it to show it off to friends and family. A beautiful piece of art.

Reminder to Pray

This sculpture is unusual, beautiful and a calm reminder to pray about things which are out of our control. I recently sent one as a gift to my sister who has a terminal diagnosis. She placed in a prominent place in her home to remind her that God is always with her.
