“This is now one of my most prized treasure”

Exquisite artwork. Impressive alabaster carving, and this is now one of my most prized treasure! Thank you Sir Rasool, nothing but my highest respect and appreciation for the wonderful jali piece! And kudos too to the Novica team, I was initially worried about if this will arrive damaged but it was packed so well, it arrived whole and undamaged.
