"Mini Masks"
This is a perfect blend of two of my interests -- masks and African decor. I placed them in a shadowbox and display them with other masks.

"Hanging on Our Wall"
We have numerous home decorations we bought in several African countries while visiting them. The masks are just as authentic and go well beside other African objects. Terrific.

"Amazing"
I have purchased five different groups of mask decorations from different African artists and this is undoubtedly my favorite group. They are so handsome and well done. I love the use of metal on two of them and they are all painted beautifully. Many Thanks to Victor and Novica! I definitely recommend Victors work - you wont be disappointed.
