   ### Apache Iceberg version
   
   0.6.0 (latest release)
   
   ### Please describe the bug 🐞
   
   Hello,
   
   Is this a bug or is there something obvious I am misunderstanding/misusing. 
(I am relatively new to iceberg). Tested on MacOS M2 arm64
   
   ```python
   from decimal import Decimal
   from pyiceberg.catalog.sql import SqlCatalog
   import pyarrow as pa
   
   pylist = [{'decimal_col': Decimal('32768.')}]
   arrow_schema = pa.schema(
       [
           pa.field('decimal_col', pa.decimal128(38, 0)),
       ],
   )
   arrow_table = pa.Table.from_pylist(pylist, schema=arrow_schema)
   
   catalog = SqlCatalog(
       'test_catalog',
       **{
           'type': "sql'",
           'uri': 'sqlite:///pyiceberg.db',
       },
   )
   
   namespace = 'test_ns'
   table_name = 'test_table'
   
   catalog.create_namespace(namespace=namespace)
   new_table = catalog.create_table(
       identifier=f'{namespace}.{table_name}',
       schema=arrow_schema,
       location='.',
   )
   
   new_table.append(arrow_table)
   ```
   ```
   OverflowError: int too big to convert
   ```
   
   - Note: `pylist = [{'decimal_col': Decimal('32767.')}]` works
   - Switching `pa.field('decimal_col', pa.decimal128(38, 1)),` also works
   
   Thank you!
