“Majestic Elephant”

Mr. Barrow, this is a wonderful elephant wood sculpture. The detailing is so precise and I love the warm, rich colors. When the elephant's trunk is up that is a sign of good luck. Thank you, Sir, for your handsome carving and for working with Novica. Rochelle New Jersey

“Couldnt let go”

The first time I saw this Nativity set we were coming back from my boyfriends first vacation in Peru in 2022; we just purchased the Elephant from the same artist for our house and we were leaving the store. We both loved it, but had to make it to our flight, so we left. I regretted not getting it the second I took my seat on the plane, but it was already too late. Back home, this masterpiece would come back to my mind every now and then, Id look for it on the internet but never found it. Last November I remembered it again and without many expectations I googled it, again. Unexpectedly it just showed up and I couldnt let it go this time... I ordered it right away and I received it right on time for our 2024 Christmas season. John, this is a beautiful piece that brings me so much joy! Every time I pass by it, I cant help it but stop and stare at it, admiring every detail and the beauty of this set.
