A butterfly alights on the face of a beautiful woman with scarlet lips. Or perhaps it is two birds, facing each other as if in a test of wills. By Gusti Ngurah Semarajaya, the enigmatic hibiscus wood mask is painted by hand. It poses on a stand of guagule wood.

"Love these!"
Very well made. I wanted these to hang on the wall but they come attached to a stand. Nevertheless, they are beautiful on display and beautifully made.
