Seller's Story
I specialize in Asian and tribal art objects, with a strong focus on hand-carved wooden statues, ritual objects, and decorative pieces with cultural significance. Each object is carefully selected for its appearance, material, age-related characteristics, and authenticity.
In addition to art, I also collect and sell Japanese Pokémon cards, originating from Japan. These cards are carefully checked for authenticity and condition, and always safely packaged for shipping.
I believe that collecting is about trust, experience, and respect for the object. That’s why I take ample time with packaging, communication, and shipping, so that every item arrives safely and with care to its new owner.
