I love hearts

This heart sculpture is so much nicer then the picture shows. Its bigger then I thought it would be and the sculpture really shows the carving that went into making this. I'm impressed and very happy!11

Wood sculpture, 'Deep Thought'

Unusual wood sculpture

I love this small wood sculpture. The pensiveness of the subject and the abstracted body revealing an empty space where her heart should be is thought provoking. The wood is also a lovely shaded brown.

great gift

I ordered this for my best friend as a birthday present. It was shipped directly to her, so I haven't seen it myself, but she said it was beautifully made. Ordering was easy, and it arrived well in advance of her birthday, about a week earlier than I'd anticipated. Thank you for prompt service and a quality object.

History of Sculpture

Sculpture has arguably been one of the most important forms of documenting the human experience throughout history. Compared to other art forms, it is extremely universal - the act of using ones hands (and/or basic sculptural tools) to craft art has been found in most ancient civilizations, ranging from the Roman Empire to the Mayan and Inca empires in the Americas, as well as isolated tribes in Polynesia and deep in the Amazon jungle.
