Beautiful piece. Was a gift to my mother and she loved it. It's not too big or small. The craftmanship is superb. You can feel the spirit of the mother holding her child with love. It is a unique and lovely piece of art.

I ordered this not really knowing much about the Novica website or what they were about. I believe I saw an ad on Facebook. After browsing through the site and reading about the artists involved, I settled on the "Kiss Me" statue both for it's simplicity, and because it resembles the number 8- which also signifies "eternity". I was extremely nervous while my girlfriend opened the package (I left it unopened) and was pleasantly surprised by both the excellent craftsmanship, and the size of the carving. It was much bigger than I expected- but that was a good thing! More importantly, my significant other absolutely loved it! I highly recommend this item, and if all the items on this site are of similar quality I know that I will be a frequent shopper.

I bought this as an anniversary gift for my husband at a time when we really needed to reconnect with one another. i spent a long time hunting for a piece of art that would show unity, compassion, passion, and affection, but without being cutesy or involving a heart-shape. This really struck a cord, and seemed to strike my husband as well. It now sits on our coffee table in our high traffic TV room, and i see it every day.
