Wonderful! It resembles Persian Art so well... the hair looks just like the ancient art to my recollection (and a really nice choice of wood too!)

I would really like to feature this deviation in my new group "Antiquated Aesthetic" under "Artisan Crafts"

You will have to accept a request in your deviantART mailbox for it to be featured.

Thanks!

I'd do more antique subjects if I had the time, but I'm putting sculpture aside for a while, I'm trying instrument making now...
