“Giraffe sculpture”

A lot different than photo. I understand wood sculptures can differ because that is the nature of wood, but my sculpture is not smooth like the picture shows. Almost reminds me of a carnival prize. Carving is rough and horns are not smooth at all. Not worth the price. Disappointed.

“Conversational piece due to its meaning.”

The mask lacks vibrance. The colors are dull. Very Primitive in nature. The red doesnt appear as vivid as the photo. The size is nice. I recognize that one cant duplicate a mask over and over exactly due to it being handmade.
