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.

Super, very happy, girls love the set.
So far I have received first a peridot ring which I love, it's pretty and smooth and very comfortable to wear. The earrings pictured arrived yesterday and they are just beautiful and I ordered a pendant that matches and it arrived with the earrings in a beautiful little box. I'm very pleased with the quality and the price. With reasonable prices like these I can afford to order myself a little present every month. It was a gift to me from me.
Tradition
This a gift I purchased for a cousin in Colombia. She travels a lot for work and appreciates things made from many countries. She especially loves hand made jewelry and when she read about the creator of these earrings, his story, background and passion, they mean so much more to her and she told me that the hands that formed them are those of an artist creating beauty that represents his country.
