"Absolutely Beautiful"

It took a little while for this mask to arrive because of the hurricanes, and it was worth the wait. I call this Northern Spirit Mask my Donald Trump mask, noting the correlation between money and water. When I displayed my Dan Protector Mask, I heard the Spirits rhythmic song as they were released to do thier work. I am a Christian and believe in the Holy Spirit embodied in these masks. Thanks Mr. Opoku. Sincerely, Dan.

I was very happy that I made this purchase. It looks exactly like it looked on the picture. It is a unique mask and it is very well made. It was packaged very good no damage at all.

"Never Feel Alone"

Democracy and unity, a beautiful reminder of this sculpture to meditate upon when feeling alone and hopeless -- We are never alone and hope is very much alive, showing itself at the most tiniest sliver of love, accompanied by strength and perseverance. Love this piece!
