“I love African Art, especially wooden masks”

This particular mask is smaller than I expected. However, the petite mask is exquisite. The detailed carvings and colors are beautiful. I will no doubt consider buying additional pieces from this artist. I am thrilled I bought this piece. Im also thrilled a female carved this mask. That one feature makes this piece special!
