This wood sculpture far surpassed my expectations. Upon the package arriving, let me tell you that much care and dedication was taken to protect this piece of art during shipment. It was wrapped at least 8 times with heavy paper and strategically place support in the open areas of the piece. I knew that someone put as much love in to the shipping as they did to create the piece. BEAUTIFUL!!
