Animal Themed Gift Collection

These are lovely. The soapstone has natural color gradations, with some lovely touches of pale pink and light grey intermingling with the medium grey that predominates. They are substantial pieces, and the talent and artistry of the sculptor is obvious. The owls are identical in size, but there are individual variations that make it easy to see each is one of a kind. I was also delighted to see that the upright portion on each bookend is actually carved to resemble a book! Delightful!

This is a somewhat heavy soapstone sculptured jar with elephants around the lid and the bowl. It is a really fine piece of workmanship. The sculptured elephants are etched very nicely and somewhat delicately. I really like my jar. Thank you.

This is a beautiful, unique item created by a gifted artisan. I purchased this necklace as a gift and "good luck charm" for a friend who is leaving soon to teach in Cambodia for six months. The photo does not do justice to this pendant, it is gorgeous! As always, the packaging is beautiful, it is always well worth the extra few dollars to order the special gift box. I have made several purchases from NOVICA and I am always delighted by the quality of the product, the punctual delivery, the fair price, and the idea that I am helping to support some very fine artists.
