intricate carving

I bought this sculpture to sit on my bedroom dresser because what better place to celebrate the ultimate "Love of the Ages" epitomized by Rama & Sita? And, while the pictures on the Novica site are accurate, there's somehow no comparison to how amazingly awesome this sculpture is up close & personal. The "presence" of this sculpture comes across like a quad-shot of cosmic esspresso! The carving is exquisite, kind of jaw-droppingly so. As a trained artist & craftsperson, myself, I am humbled in its presence. Dearest Nyoman Subrata, though this is not the first beautiful carving of yours I own, & though each one is treasured, your Rama & Sita sculpture has now become one of the "crown jewels" in my collection of sacred art. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with me, for adding to the beauty of my home, & for the sublime awe I experience in the presence of your creations.

I love having Lakshmi, surrounded by floral vines, in my home as she and I are both children of Mother Earth. I thank the artists, Saresh and Devender Garg, for their detailed, inspiring work in India. Mary Pitt

I purchased this and other puzzle boxes for gifts for my children for Christmas. Each of them loved opening them and finding their own unique box, with gift hidden inside. They enjoyed discovering how to get to the inside. Thank you!
