"Great Addition To Your Collection!"
The intricate details of this fine piece speak to the expertise of the artisans spot on interpretation of what this unique carving should be represented as, an executioner. The attention to detail and skillful craftsmanship of the mask transports the viewer of this work into a duality of thought and feeling. On the one hand, being on the edge of fear, knowing what the work represents, but at the same time being caught up in the beauty of the presentation of the piece. This mask is a true work of art and is a most welcome addition to my collection.

"Well Above Average !"
This is such a quality mask. The wood is much nicer than what I generally see on wooden wall masks. This mask is truly great and it has a polished, almost furniture quality about it ! Quite nice, and I am very pleased. I purchased this mask a while ago (years in fact) and I love it just as much now as I did when I first unwrapped it !
