I anxiously awaited this item for a couple of weeks, and was very excited when it arrived. It's beautifully carved, painted, and adorned with some metals that really make it stand out from ordinarily carved masks.
I bought this together with another African mask. They hang on either side of the fireplace in our house. They are both very distinctive and make excellent decorative pieces and also have that feel of handmade items. A lot of guests to our house comment on them.
