Beautiful

I've wanted an image of Saint Michael for years. I love this one particularly as I prefer satan in the form of a serpent. A beautiful carving. Many thanks to this gifted family.

St. John the Evangelist statuette

I was so excited to receive my Novica order. The packaging was excellent but the best part was the product. The statuette now sits at a prominent place in my living room. It gives me a warm and calm feeling every time I see it. The craftsmanship was excellent and I will continue to order from Novica.
