"This is a unique piece to add to my hippo collection"
I love this piece! It s beautiful and it arrived quickly! My only “complaint” is that it has a really strong odor…like gasoline…I assume it s some sort of polish…I have had it disassembled since it arrived…hoping to air it out. Ot

"Hippo Puzzle Box"
This is the cutest yet delicately made puzzle box. It is a masterful piece of workmanship and I really, really like it. There is quite a large space in the inside where one can put money or jewelry for a more special gift. Thank you Mr. Wirata, your workmanship is excellent. I am very happy with my purchase.

"Outstanding Wood Sculpture"
This wood carving is a fine example of craftsmanship. As a woodworker I appreciate anyone who works with wood in an art environment. Made Wirata is excellent in his wood carving and artistic talent. His piece occupies a place of honor in our home.
