"Just beautiful!"

I purchased this piece to replace a previous ceramic purchase from Novica that decided to fall off the wall : (This piece is even better than I expected if that is even possible. I appreciate the symbolism of the lotus flower, rebirth & resurrection, combined with the sun. Clearly, Seji is very gifted. Im grateful she connected with Novica as a platform to share her work with the world. More power to Seji to provide for her children!
