A sculptor in Nagaland created a lifeline panoramic scene from a village detailed with huts, bridge and a waterfall. The scenery was recreated on a block of wood fashioned into a glass top dining table. Ningwon Zingkhai, carved the table with a waterfall, bridge, lights and a stream flowing into a lake under a dining table.
Reportedly, Zingkhai who makes pots and other items with clay, spent more than a year to complete his masterpiece which has been carved out of a huge woodblock at his house at Daroghjan in the outskirts of Dimapur town.
¡°I did not have any idea about what he was doing before. As a wife, I used to complain of working for so long and never completing his work. We are not financially sound and need money for our family needs,¡± ANI quoted Sopem, Zingkhai¡¯s wife as saying.?
Ninglum, a neighbour reportedly said, ¡°Ningwon Zingkhai took a huge block of wood last year. We asked him what he is going to do with it and he said that he will make a dining table with a village, waterfall, mountains etc. We did not believe him and thought he was joking. But he turned his imagination into reality.¡±

He spent Rs 1.70 lakh to make the table but there have been no prospective buyers so far.
¡°There is not a prospective buyer for this table as of now. I have spent Rs 1.70 lakh to build the dining table. But I intend to sell it for Rs 20 lakh considering the amount of time, energy and money spent in buying materials while making this,¡± Zingkhai reportedly said.
