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.

Beautiful earrings
These airings are fantastic! They go beautifully with a matching necklace. From a sterling silver hook hangs an open circle. The circle is composed of a thin band that widens to two bands in the bottom half of the circle. The two bands are filled in by sterling silver filigree. In the center of the circle dangles a shiny sterling silver seer.
