Fabulous piece by favorite artist

Had my eye on this item for over a year and finally decided to get it. Am I glad! Salihu Ibrahim is my favorite Novica artist and I have a few other pieces of his. The size of the picture needed to capture the mane doesn’t do it full justice. Beautiful in hand. Thank you for another exquisite piece of art.
