“Precisely Pretty as Pictured”

The Vibrant Ewe Elder Ghanaian African mask appears to be authenticly hand-crafted. The colors are vibrant. The dimensions are perfect -- neither too big nor too small. It is quite exquisite and emotionally moving to behold. Furthermore, it arrived with a handwritten thank you note, which virtually warmed the appreciation between seller and buyer. I am proudly displaying this versatile artwork on my gallery wall of favorite things.
