Recalling time spent in nature with members of his family, Indian artisan Suresh Pant hand-carves this figurine of sal driftwood. The four family members gather together as they appreciate the beauty of the woods surrounding them. For each unique work, Suresh collects sustainable driftwood from the river near his home, allowing its natural shape to suggest the beauty of the earth.

This piece arrived well-protected and in perfect condition. Unfortunately, I could barely get it to stand up straight, as it is designed to do, because of imperfect weight-distribution. It wants to tip forward. A small, attached, solid base would probably have corrected this tendency, but, unfortunately, no base was integrated into the design. Not wanting to risk having it fall over and chipping or breaking, Ive laid it down horizontally. Being basically driftwood, it looks all right that way to me, but its not the way the artist designed it, nor is it the way that I envisioned displaying it. Too bad.

I read the reviews but remained somewhat a skeptic. If I could give this artist more than 5 stars I WOULD. It arrived safely and is exquisite. I immediately placed it in its new home ~ with intention. I cannot wait until I am ready to order another work. Money well spent. You will not be disappointed
