Beautiful hand carved nativity
This beautiful piece now has a permanent place in our living room as a reminder of our vacation in Peru. We saw it while shopping but it was not until I found the Novica web site and read about the company and the artist (John Barrow) that we decided to make the purchase. I appreciate what the company is doing for the people in this region of the world. We will make other purchases from this company.

Didn't know what size to get, so I bought two. Unbeknownst to me, I wanted both!
I have been intrigued by the crying Buddha for years. I sometimes struggle with depression and the crying Buddha makes me feel less alone. I bought both the small and larger carving because I didn't know how they would "feel". I want to offer comfort to the Buddha and I didn't know what that would look like. Would I want to hold it in my hand or would I want to stroke his back? Turns out, I want to do both. I brought the smaller carving to work and I have the larger statue on my grandmother's desk. I rub the larger statue's back every time I walk into my living room. I offer the Buddha my comfort and he offers me his. I hold the smaller carving in my hand when I'm at work. The smooth contours of the carving beg to be touched. I'm so happy with both of them. They are beautiful.
