African wood and aluminum mask, 'Frafra Dancer'





By Trace
Better than expected.
I have a large collection of masks from all over the world. This one is a beautiful addition. Unique and well made. Very detailed when you can hold it in your hands. Perhaps not a traditional style, but very artistic.
Wood mask, 'Face of a Warrior'





By Bonnie
Museum Quality Jaguar Warrior
I received Face of a Warrior today and truly love it. Jose Canil Ramos is a very talented artist. This mask will have a prominent place in my house and will be greatly admired by everyone who lays eyes on it. There are scores of jaguar warriors out there created by some very talented artists. I have another jaguar warrior mask, which I also love, but this mask is more dramatic and compelling. When I saw it, I had to have it. Kudos to a skillful and talented carver!
Wood mask, 'Bhoma the Protector'





By Cliff
Absolutely Remarkable!
I am an American, and have had an interest in Indonesian culture for much of my life. This mask of Bhoma the Protector is one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful mask I have ever seen come out of Bali. I was absolutely stunned when I opened the package. This beautiful piece by Made Mulyani was carved with love, compassion and an amazing amount of skill. I am truly appreciative of all the work she put into this. Even the wood itself was wonderful just to hold and feel. Further, the packaging so that the mask would make it safely to the U.S. was done with such care I have to mention that here too. Thank you Novica. Thank you Made Mulyani. I am so happy to have this treasure in my home. This mask without question truly is the soul of Bali.
