"Nice table top mask"

This mask arrived a few days ahead of the original schedule. We were pleasantly surprised to find the colors, size, etc were exactly as shown on the website. We needed something small with these colors to finish off a display on an entertainment unit. We were not disappointed. We definitely recommend the piece and would buy it again.
