African wood mask, 'Bird Wisdom'
By Joanne
Beautiful Gift!
I just received this mask today. It is a gift for my husband and he is thrilled, great craftmanship and detail!
Wood mask, 'Comedy and Tragedy'
By Blake
Unique and extremely well crafted.
This is a great piece that is very well designed and finely crafted. And the fact that the shade and grain of wood for each piece is a great bonus (mine has a lovely deep shade of brown in a number of places.)
Wood mask, 'Blossoming Smile'
By Gail
Beautiful and perfect
I now own 8 of these lovely masks, handcrafted by a very talented artisan in Indonesia. Eka has an expert creative eye, as though the wood itself speaks to her about what it would like to become.These are the perfect accent to the spa like room that Id envisioned!
