Simple but eye-catching

My sister and her husband collect ethnic masks, and this one is unlike any they have. I liked that it's so narrow, which should make it easy to find a place for it. Also, their other masks are mostly bare wood, and the color on this gives it more of a presence, even though it's smaller than their other pieces.

Great Carving

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 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. I'm also thrilled a female carved this mask. That one feature makes this piece special!
