"Wondeful mask"
This is the first item Ive purchased from this artist but, I will be back for more. The craftmanship is great. I loved this mask when I saw it online but, in person it is even more beautiful.

"A gift my husband loves--and so do I. Simply Stunning!"
This mask in palm is beautifully made and beautiful to look at. It has both whimsical and poignant quality that draws me in to look at it for long minutes. The texture is cool and smooth , the painting light, yet intense. Gusti is an amazing artist in so many ways. The mask is the perfect size; I am very pleased with it in every way. Thank you, Gusti Ngurah Semarajaya.

"Very artistic"
Im a big fan of these hand-carved and painted dolls. I do wish the paintings were different instead of the rabbits being identical, but that doesnt take away from the quality or workmanship.
