African wood mask, 'A Peace Blessing'
By Carolyn
Peace Mask
I gave this as a gift to my parents. They have it displayed proudly on their living room wall. It looks very beautiful with their new decor.
Wood mask, 'Barong Dance'
By NANCY
Magnificent!
Barong is now busy protecting the house, frightening evil spirits but grinning heartily at the rest of us. He has added a colorful and life-enhancing presence that is a delight to encounter daily. After his arrival I particularly enjoyed watching Barong dance rituals on YouTube and highly recommend them to anyone contemplating ordering the mask since you ll understand his significance and character better. Incidentally, I had no trouble hanging him on the wall with a tiny bit of ingenuity.
African wood mask, 'Uzoma'
By Amanda
Absolutely exquisite
So pleased with this purchase. Packaging, delivery and service were exemplary, but most of all the talent of the artist is something I am proud to support. It will be treasured by my mixed race son as a reminder of his Igbo heritage. Thank you Novica.
