Wood mask sculpture, 'Dragon Sky'
By Michael
Mystical Mask
I love this mask, it is so beautifully crafted and painted. This is an item you do not normally see, and if you are a person wanting handcrafted items, this is a must have.
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.
African wood mask, 'Elephant Vibrations'
By Deborah D.
Even the packaging was beautiful!
My 17 year old son wanted this for his room. He loved the purple elephant in contrast to the other patterns and black/white color on the face.
