"Magnificent craftmanship"
Just love all metal detailing to surface face and hinged jaw whiskers that is like a loose fitting bracelet or beard on the sculpture. Love the characterization of cat -- colors and turquoise contrasts.

Ronald Franco again captures the Moche spirit with this mask. The sodalite and crysocolla stones add to the beauty.
