We purchased three of these magnificently carved masks from the same artist. They are in a hallway as an introduction to our Guatemala room. I was a volunteer in Guatemala for two years, teaching English. I love the indigenous cultures there and these masks are a fine representation of indigenous art.
I especially love the use of embossed metal and display it proudly with other Novica-purchased masks from other African countries. In fact, I loved this and the other three I've displayed together so much that I printed a picture of them to display on my office wall.
My husband has a small collection of carved wooden masks, so I got this to add to his menagerie. He's delighted with it - it's just the right size, well-made & interesting to look at. Thank you!
