"Attention Getter"
The table is simply a beautiful object d art that is functional. I put a round glass top on it and it gets loads of compliments. It fits the decor of my sunroom perfectly.

"Disappointed"
I was so looking forward to adding this mask to my collection of masks but was disappointed to find that it was not carved out to create a hollow back like my other masks. This is a solid piece which makes it heavier than necessary. I am wary to hang this on the wall along with my other masks given the weight so I will have to lay it down on the table as a conversation piece. I also wish the paint less skimpy.
