I got this for my adult son for his birthday. We played exactly like this when he was a toddler. It’s beautiful and he loves it. Thank you for the artist for such a lovely piece.

Gorgeous wooden heart held in hands

Product picture

This is an absolutely beautifully crafted piece. I got this piece because my son passed away recently and when I saw this I immediately thought of him, I felt like my heart is in his hands wherever he is, and we'll always be together. I'm sure it can be interpreted in many ways and that's just one of the wonderful things about this heart held in two hands. The butterfly on the heart adds yet another sentimental and significant meaning to the sculpture.
