"She loved it!"
I bought this as a gift for my aunt and she loved it. The craftsmanship is of very high quality and it was relatively inexpensive for such a well made handmade item. I recommend this artisan.

"Very Nice Piece"
This is a lovely box. The carving is nicely done, and the hinges work smoothly. Very well made, and also came carefully packed.

"Second elephant art purchased from Gulam"
Precious piece and worried about arriving safe and sound. Relieved packaging was so secure took me removal of several layers of wrapping to get to box! Superb crafting of many elephants (my favorite creature) and love round design and substantial weight and size. Only disappointment is not off-white or ecru color as shown online, but a much darker brown or grayish shade. Nevertheless, love his work. Wish Gulam could bring back dyed/colored soapstone that he used to craft years ago. I have one of his pieces of a soapstone multi-colored elephant small box which I truly treasure.
