"Exquisite indeed! Amazing details!"
Thank you Jesus and Roxana,This turtle is the perfect gift for a friend of mine. I bought this for her to remember three different conversations. I know she will love it and her family will cherish it for many years to come. I was so excited to find one made by Jesus! and at such a low price. I bought it right away. I had some pieces by Jesus and Roxana before their works were available here at Novica....So thank you Novica for bringing more artisans works to Novica for customers to buy. I check often to see what is new....and never hesitate to buy a piece from Oaxaca when I know that one was made just for me (or just for one of my friends/family members....They are wonderful gifts for friends and family).

"Yet ANOTHER Great Sculpture"
Now have a dozen in house or gifts sculpted by Jesus and Roxanne. Easily my favorite alebreje artists. Have all the coyotes and monkeys so a domestic dog is a great change!
