It's not easy to find a good quality depiction of a mallard hen -- most statuettes are of the drake -- perhaps because the markings on the hen are delicate and subtle. The artist has done a wonderful job here, and I'm very happy with it. It occupies an honored place in our home.
The smooth polish and the cold, soothing colour of jade together with the simple, clean shape give these earrings a feel of serenity and calmness. I feel at peace whenever I wear them and am forever thankful to the artist who was able to match their colour with a pendant, so the set is just perfect.
I appreciate hand-made objects because they are from the heart, mind and hands of the craftsperson. I sensed this carved rendition of OM would be beautiful because I could feel Mulyani's energy in her picture before I made the purchase. I have placed it above my altar and will send her a picture so she can see that it is included in my sacred space. Thank you Mulyani for your design, patience to carve this piece until completion and for creating such beauty from a sacred piece of wood from your homeland.
Take great care from now on.
Warm Regards and Best Wishes,
