Sir Allen receives gorgeous gift from Guyanese

February 12, 2008:

Sir Allen Stanford received an exquisite sculpture of the Stanford 20/20 logo just prior to the Guyana versus Bermuda match on Sunday February 10. The sculpture, accessorized with gold and diamonds was designed and commissioned by Bobby Hussain of Guyana and was presented to Sir Allen by Sarah Lynch, Mr. Hussain's daughter and Otis Anderson, a friend.

The sculpture was done from a single block of mahogany and mounted on a base made of greenheart, purpleheart and the rare and expensive bullet wood, all from Guyana. The gold which form the grill of the helmet, the Stanford emblem, wording and a bracelet on the batsman's hand is from Guyana. The three diamonds which stud the bracelet are also from the mineral rich Guyana.

Sir Allen commented that the sculpture was extremely beautiful and that he was most thankful for the stunning gift. Immediately after receiving it Sir Allen personally took the sculpture to his exclusive Bowler's Club at his boundary side Sticky Wicket Restaurant where it will remain on display. The Bowler's Club, which overlooks the Stanford Cricket Ground is where Sir Allen hosts his specially invited guests for Stanford 20/20 matches. He and the legends of West Indies cricket can often be seen enjoying the cricket action from the Bowler's Club balcony.
Mr. Hussain was so moved after the initial Stanford 20/20 Tournament in 2006 that he commissioned the sculpture and gifted it to Sir Allen as a token of his appreciation for his efforts at revitalizing West Indies cricket.
