Customer Reviews
Smooth, timely transaction.
Unique wood carving!
This piece is a wonderfully done tribute to the old myth and a celebration of maleness in one. I hope to order the larger size soon!
My carving arrived in perfect condition and was just as in the photos - a high quality carving! I'm very satisfied.
I purchased both the Minotaur and Lilith statues. The Artist truly has captivated the essence of these characters through sculpture. The detail is the work of a true master and I am more than satisfied with my purchase. All statues made by the Artist are some of the best work I have seen and I am beyond impressed. I couldn’t be more happy with the craftsmanship and quality. Looking forward to seeing more from the Artist. I may paint them, but debating it because the natural beauty in these pieces is phenomenal.
This is an exceptional work of fine craftsmanship--a hand carved statuette of the legendary Minotaur of Greek mythology. The carving is beautifully executed and creatively set in a cave-like structure to suggest the Labyrinth. It arrived two days after I ordered it--I was astonished. I highly recommend this craftsman's work and speedy response to the order.
