You can imagine the joy on his face as he goes inside his own abode, feeling a sense of thrill as he explores the surroundings from high up." Indian artist Suresh Pant describes his unique, original sculpture. He collects a piece of sal wood from the riverbank near his home, carving the sculpture by hand with an abstract design to resemble the image of a young boy climbing into his tree house. A dark finish accentuates the wood, resulting in this imaginative home decor accessory.
