Group Hug!

Using traditional sculpting techniques, Jay Rotberg creates a timeless homage to the tight-knit bonds of family. The artist's emotive pieces are originally sculpted out of wax then cast in bronze and then recast using bonded resins. He finishes each sculpture with a traditional verdigris patina, a technique used to preserve sculptures since antiquity. Featuring parents and two children in a tight embrace, this work of heart makes a powerful statement about the unconditional devotion we have to those we love. Handmade in the artist's studio in Greensboro, North Carolina.

My mother cried when she opened it.

Comments about UncommonGoods Hugs for All:

My mother first displayed this in the open plan kitchen, then later in the living room on the mantle and it was equally at home in both locations. It's beautiful and could not be more perfect for a close family.

      kids love it

      Comments about UncommonGoods Hugs for All:

      I bought a "HUG" statue for my kids. It is perfect as they have 2 kids so the 2 hugging children around 2 hugging parents fit perfectly. It is a well made, wooden piece of sculpture that should last them a lifetime. It just couldn't have been a more appropriate gift.
