Stunning artwork”

The picture and description don‘t do the sculpture justice - within the egg, there is a small elephant, which itself is also executed in intricate jali style. I bought this as a present, and the recipients were amazed by the level of detail and the great craftsmanship that went into the creation of this beautiful carving.

This is now one of my most prized treasure”

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.
