Beautiful craftsmanship!
This kind of master handcrafting is so beautiful but difficult to find in the USA. I was especially touched by M. Ayub?s write up about the Kashmir Valley and how he learned his craft which was historically passed from one generation to the next but attracts fewer and fewer artisans these days. The box is beautifully detailed and I feel fortunate to have stumbled across his work on Novica?s site. Thank you for sharing the gift of your artistic expression and craftsmanship with the world M. Ayub!

Love At First Sight!
It's amazing how a piece of clay can be transformed into heirloom. The unpainted clay surfaces reveal a creamy white clay that must be unique to the artist's region. The swirling painted design is bold & elegant. The beading outlining the design gives it depth and nice texture. The glaze makes the colors vibrant. The box was shipped promptly. It was carefully packaged. Sheets of paper were expertly molded to the shape of the box to pad it for shipping. It was fun unrolling everything to discover my "prize". Please continue this design in other products in your line. I hope you restock the wall cross! I highly recommend this seller and would gladly be a repeat customer.
