The jars intricate carving is flawless, and the subtle pastel-colored highlights of the soapstone add to its grace even more. Perfectly sized to be practical without sacrificing elegance, its a beautiful addition to the home.

Exquisite artwork. Impressive alabaster carving, and this is now one of my most prized treasure! Thank you Sir Rasool, nothing but my highest respect and appreciation for the wonderful jali piece! And kudos too to the Novica team, I was initially worried about if this will arrive damaged but it was packed so well, it arrived whole and undamaged.
