"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.

"Beautiful!"
This is the third piece I have bought from Alejandro Chavez. His retablos are so detailed and exquisitely made. After my brother saw my Little Carnival retablo he wanted one. So I purchased the Fiesta in My Homeland for him as an early Christmas gift. Needless to say...he loves it!
