I'm always happy with the high quality of my NOVICA purchases, and this darling little turtle is no exception! 'He' is a lovely, magically painted talisman - very unique... It's a bonus to be able to support the artisans in this fashion. Thank you, NOVICA!!

These little guys are beautiful and although I bought them for myself, I will probably buy more to give as gifts. They are so bright, colorful and cheerful. I really like how small they are, They will be wonderful additions to my Christmas tree!

I do appreciate these artists who create the Oaxacan detail techniques of painting and carving. This is a great example of how that is done. I will look forward to collecting more from these artisans!
