Beautiful Chinese Checker set

Product picture

I bought this gift for an elderly relative who had dreamed her entire life of having a nice Chinese Checker set of her own. This set certainly for the bill. She was thrilled and said it was what she had dreamed of as a child.

Adopt this Art!

Product picture

This is the most meditative, serene, and well-crafted stone sculpture from this artist, that I was so inspired by that I had to get another piece from him! This Balinese artist is so talented, capturing special personality of his subjects, coupled with extremely fine craftsmanship. It is a pleasure and a privilege to support such an artist, and from such a wonderful culture that I am very familiar with!
