It's not easy to find a good quality depiction of a mallard hen -- most statuettes are of the drake -- perhaps because the markings on the hen are delicate and subtle. The artist has done a wonderful job here, and I'm very happy with it. It occupies an honored place in our home.
I was very impressed by the quality, beauty and functionality of the box. Kelvin Maguina is an amazing artisan, and I was honored to give his work of art to my dear friend Johanna.
This is the lovelyist wood mortar and pestle ever.
I have several motar and pestle sets made in different materials, but this carved wood one is so nice. A design is painted in white within the carved out spaces. It is beautiful.
