"Beautifully made!"
I love this piece. Its so delicately made with variety of colors and its very attractive. I enjoy looking at it. It was packaged with care and it included a ribbon with a small decorative piece of a traditional cultural doll. Thank you for having this unique piece available.

"Looks Great in my updated bathroom"
There is an amazing amount of detali in this little mirror. I recently painted and replaced the sink with a Mexican tile backsplash and this sweet little detail fits in perfectly.
