This man throwing shotput is another striking carving by Isaaci Etidloie. Etidloie does a remarkable job of capturing the essence of people at play or engaged in sport. This shotput player is another wonderful example of that. Etidloie’s work is well regarded and would be a superb addition to any collection.
