"a favorite acquisition"

I have purchased several masks. Each has been interesting in its own way but I think this one is my favorite and now hangs in my office where I can see it all day. I love the surface patterning and the unusual facial expression and configuration.

I love Moon Shadow. It is very romantic, dream like and soft. It hangs in my livingroom along with a few Dreamcatchers . It looks fabulous.

"BEAUTIFUL!"

For a smaller drum, this work of art has a deeper resonating sound. Dont be fooled by hits small stature! Tuned perfectly!:)
