"Great Folkart"
This is truly a whimsical mirror exhibiting masks in a miniature way. This was a gift for a person who has always collected the larger masks and she is thrilled.

"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.
