Magnificent!
Barong is now busy protecting the house, frightening evil spirits but grinning heartily at the rest of us. He has added a colorful and life-enhancing presence that is a delight to encounter daily. After his arrival I particularly enjoyed watching Barong dance rituals on YouTube and highly recommend them to anyone contemplating ordering the mask since you’ll understand his significance and character better. Incidentally, I had no trouble hanging him on the wall with a tiny bit of ingenuity.

Beautiful Pieces for Any Room
I own 6 pieces of Jesus Rivas geometric cream and black vases. I have these displayed in our living room. The black color is achieved by using mango leaves. It's a complicated, time consuming process. It's an eco-friendly process. Jesus Rivas uses mango leaves to achieve the rich black color for his vases. The vases have a matte finish with minimal gloss. His creativity is truly unique and modern. He has 2 very tall (over 22") vases. His vases are statement pieces that look fantastic grouped with other pieces or alone. I purchased 1 of his taller vases. I grouped several of his vases together in our living room. The tallest vase sits on the floor. We have received many compliments on the vases (pieces) by Jesus Rivas. I highly recommend his vases. You will enjoy these beautiful, modern, geometric vases for many, many years!

Gorgeous carved gourd!
This is a beautiful decorative piece. The detail is so intricate and reflects a loving talent. When I hold it, I imagine the artist carefully and patiently carving the lovely, tiny and facinating scenes. When we went to Peru there was little time to shop, so I am thrilled to have a gorgeous, hand made in Peru keepsake! Peru's unique beauty is reflected by this artist's creation. It is a treasure.
