Beautiful piece. Was a gift to my mother and she loved it. It's not too big or small. The craftmanship is superb. You can feel the spirit of the mother holding her child with love. It is a unique and lovely piece of art.
This is unbelievably gorgeous! I gave it as a gift to a woman who had lost her son. When she called me to thank me she was crying at the beauty of it! It feels so good to give a quality handmade gift! You cannot buy something like this just anywhere.
