I purchased this item for my teenaged son. He loved it, but loved it even more when it came with a hand-signed card from the artisan. Now when people compliment him on it, he recounts the artist's story.
This is such a conversation piece. I have it on my fireplace mantel and it's just so pretty to look at. I couldn't be happier with my purchase, and I thank the artist who made such a beautiful piece.
