Balinese Handcrafted Hibiscus Wood Mask Butterfly Motif, "Gleeful Smile"
Showing a big toothy smile, this delightful character laughs with glee. Its joyful expression is magnified with expertly carved brow lines and laugh lines around the eyes. One side of the mask features a hand painted lush tropical motif with a graceful butterfly fluttering about. Artisan Gusti Ngurah Semarajaya of Bali handcrafts the mask from hibiscus wood, which is deeply variegated in unique patterns. The mask is signed by the artist and comes with a keruing wood stand for easy display of this cheerful mask.

"So Happy!"
I have purchased a number of these beautifully carved and painted masks and I am so pleased with Mr. Gleeful. He exudes exactly the happy sentiment that I needed to add and I smile every time I see him. Such wonderful artistry. I am sure you would love him as much as I do!

"Gleeful Smile"
Im delighted with the Gleeful Smile mask by Gusti Ngurah Semarajaya. I bought it to replace a very similar mask I bought in Bali about 30 years ago which was lost while moving house. And it was delivered in record time. Syabas.
