HUGE Intricately Hand Carved Olive Wood Noah's Ark on Wooden Base from Holy Land

For your consideration is this extraordinary wood carving in native Olive Wood from the Holy Land. This artisan piece is exquisite and made by a true craftsman. The natural grain of the Olive Wood is so unique and special, an organic element that is paired nicely with the smooth sealed surface of the wood. You can see the detail in the waves below the boat, in the carvings of the elephants, Lions, Giraffes, and more. Noah himself appears amongst the animals for a really special touch. This piece is one of even more exceptional quality due to the addition of the thick wooden base. This is a beautiful gift for a child, a new baby (just imagine this in a nursery!), or anyone who loves the story of Noah and his Ark. The piece itself is substantial, weighing over 3 pounds. The dimensions are approximately 7.5 inches from bottom to the top of the giraffe and approximately 7.5 inches from side to side at the widest point. I love that you can see the circles on each side (under the detailed thatched roof) where this piece of olive wood was attached to a wood lathe. This is a truly handmade piece from start to finish. It is indeed quite special! We take great care to be transparent and photograph every detail of our items. Please see the photos on this listing and examine every detail on this fine piece. It is really a masterpiece!
