I don't usually buy depictions of people, but...
I have a pretty substantial collection of folk art, and at the time that I purchased these, I had only four items in my collection which arguably depicted people. I tend to much prefer animals, plants, and geometric forms. However I really like Quipac's earrings and his page is one I check almost every month to see if he has new work. When I saw these, these struck me not so much as people as representations of a culture and a costume displayed in a beautiful geometric pattern. They were also on sale at the time! I got them, and have them displayed on a jewelry tree I also got from Novica, where they are accompanied by bats from Indonesia and some other work by the same artist depicting a leaf and a flower.

Late Christmas Gift for Wife
We've been long time Novica customers, my wife loves going through the Novica catalog on her spare time, so the best is to let her pick anything she likes for special occasions. This was her favorite craftsmanship for a late christmas gift. The Gallant Sonket necklace and the Shining Sonket earrings go great together
