"Fabulous piece by favorite artist"
Had my eye on this item for over a year and finally decided to get it. Am I glad! Salihu Ibrahim is my favorite Novica artist and I have a few other pieces of his. The size of the picture needed to capture the mane doesn t do it full justice. Beautiful in hand. Thank you for another exquisite piece of art.
