Story Behind the Art:
I'm Jaifah Aksornsri or Fah, and my name means 'of the sky.' I was born on October 19, 1964 in Chiang Mai province, Thailand. In town, my parents started making hill tribe dolls and silverware, and sometimes they sold antiques. My mom told me she'd took her goods in a bicycle basket or sometimes carry them her shoulder to sell at the hotel near the railway station. The same year I was born, they opened a shop. Many years later, they opened a bigger shop for silver and antiques. They loved to collect antiques and didn't want to sell them all. They wanted to protect many of them so that people from future generations could know about our art, styles and culture. This is my talent. I don't know where my skill and love for it comes from.

I have an arched bookcase built-in, and needed something that #1 would fit my decor which includes several world art items, and #2 would fit in the arched area at the top of the bookcase. This does both beautifully, it is an impressive piece of art. I love Overstock! I have had no problems with any Novica items. And I can always find something that no one else has!
