Am glad I ordered the blue cricket for my collection. The colors are so beautiful it make it “stand out” among all. Thank you Pablo & Lucy.

"Tomas" sends an instant smile to your heart!

Product picture

I sent this as a gift! It was love at first sight! She named him "Tomas" He is the same on both sides, so he is reversible, which I hadn't realized. The red and blue colors are vibrant! This is so well made and sweet.... instant smiles!

Hoooooooowl!

This reminds me of my three dogs and how they used to get all energetic and demand to go out in the yard as the night shone down on us. Precious, treasured memories.

Animal Sculpture

In many cultures, since ancient times, animals have been the subject of many prolific artists' greatest pieces of art, including México’s designer Angel Ceron’s depiction of man’s best friend via his ceramic animal sculptures. In many of Mexico’s pre-Hispanic cultures, the dog, who is believed to see spirits, was depicted as loyal leader walking the master’s soul to the realm of the dead. For the playfully, sometimes mischievous and curious one, the “Three Monkeys’ has been immortalized by Nyoman Karsa, in a carefully hand carved Balinese suar wood statuette “seeing no evil, speaking no evil and hearing no evil.” From the owl, cat, hummingbird, the horse, penguin, lion, swans and more, NOVICA offers an abundance of animal sculptures to match you or your loved one with your favorite animal.
