African wood mask, 'Sun Dancer'





By Ellen
Exquisite Craftmanship!
I ordered this beautiful mask as a gift for my husband to add to his collection. I was blown away when it arrived and my husband was as well when he unwrapped his present. Very high quality!
Burkina Faso Africa wood mask, 'Perseverance'





By Rob
Classic Mask

African Burkina Faso wood mask, 'Bwa Butterfly Bird'





By Melissa
