"This is now a cherished heirloom."





I was very pleased when this arrived so carefully packed. The carving is meticulous and intricate--beautifully done. It has been placed in a central position in my dining room and I will be pleased to tell my guests that it came from Indonesia and was hand carved by a woman.
