Ceramic mask, 'Observant Jaguar'
By Cyndi
Very well crafted
This jaguar mask has a wonderful, expressive face. A little smaller than I expected, but beautifully crafted. Very solid piece, nice weight for the size, solid back with opening to hang.
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, 'Peace Be Unto You'
By Claudia
So beautiful!
I bought this mask for the serene feeling it seemed to exude. To my delight, the feeling is even more powerful in reality. Expertly crafted, beautifully designed and finished.; the wood and brass add warmth to the room.
