"Absolutely beautiful!"

I have several chiwara pieces and I love them all for their uniqueness, however, this is the first contemporary style piece that purchased and I love it. The details with the metal was a surprise. I guess I Just didn?t pay much attention to the description when ordering. But it is exquisitely detailed. Thank you for allowing me to display your work!
