Purchased as a gift for a friend. I am sure she is going to LOVE it! It looks better in person than it does in the pictures. Seems very sturdy as it's one solid piece of wood. I will definately consider buying additional items both from this site and by this artist!
I was struck by the design and theme of this item looking at it on the Novica website. I ordered it and was even more impressed viewing it at home. The detail is amazing. Every cut is perfect. To me this item represents power and beauty. It is a wonderful addition to my art collection.
I gave this as a gift for a friend who is on the show "The Snake." He said it was incredible and he' now has it in a special place on his desk so he can enjoy it daily! It's the perfect size and the workmanship is awesome!
