“Absolutely Beautiful”

It took a little while for this mask to arrive because of the hurricanes, and it was worth the wait. I call this Northern Spirit Mask my Donald Trump mask, noting the correlation between money and water. When I displayed my Dan Protector Mask, I heard the Spirits rhythmic song as they were released to do thier work. I am a Christian and believe in the Holy Spirit embodied in these masks. Thanks Mr. Opoku. Sincerely, Dan.

Home Decor and Spiritual Clarity.

Very well made and reflects the beauty of untamed Africa. Only suggestion is to include a better provision to hang it.
