Great detail , very happy w/ my purchase
Briana Pungitore –
Stunning bust that is as detailed as the pic suggests; however, I should’ve paid closer attention to the different dimensions as the one I bought was much smaller than I’d imagined. Nonetheless, I’ll be keeping it for sure & may order a larger version as a statement piece for a different space. Kudos to the seller for offering to me a seamless purchase, shipping & delivery experience!
Francine Audette –

I have looked for over a decade for a good classroom sized statue of a female writer–and didn’t have luck. I couldn’t even find a Jane Austen or a Charlotte Bronte statue in their home towns while in England in 2017.
The Maya Angelou statue is a treat and a welcome addition to my high school library. I have the Maya Angelou statue next to a Harriet Tubman statue (also MarbleCast) and by a print of Maya Angelou. I am very happy with the quality and the service of MarbleCast!
