“beautiful and larger than expected”

These are quite beautiful. The only surprise was that they were considerably larger and heavier than expected. The description is correct in terms of the size, so be sure to make sure that matches your wishes.

“Fine Craftsmanship... BUT!”

Appreciate this artists craftsmanship, but I was hoping and expecting to receive the mask as shown and detailed in the product photograph. While the features and colors are similar, there are visual differences that I noticed immediately. The lighter areas of the face as shown in the photo are a tannish color and not white, which provides a poorer background for the figures painted in those areas. Secondly, the two black scrolled extended end features (top right side and bottom left side) in the photo are only painted to simulate a scroll and not round shaped. Third, the bright red colors are a maroon which mutes the masks visual presentation. Lastly, the top middle stem with yellow leaves is not flared-out as wide. While are I understand that each mask is hand-made and there will be variations, I did not expect to receive that many. I still am satisfied with this purchase, but hopefully, the artist will accept my feedback as constructive criticism of the mask I did receive.
