"Magnificent craftmanship"
Just love all metal detailing to surface face and hinged jaw whiskers that is like a loose fitting bracelet or beard on the sculpture. Love the characterization of cat -- colors and turquoise contrasts.

"Fabulous!"
This mask wall art caught my eye when I saw a picture of it - I just immediately loved the color of the copper patina with the shiny flashes. The pictures online dont do it justice as it just gleams on my wall from all the way across the room and draws you to it. It isnt a big hanging, but it is definitely a show-stopper! Im so happy I splurged on it!
