“The Dan Mask is Awesome!”

I received this mask yesterday and expected to hear the Spirits chanting as I did when the Dan Protector mask arrived, or the sweet sounds of love from the Northern Water Spirit Mask. But the Dan Mask was quiet. A simple, pay attention to me, is all they said. When these masks arrive I tell the Spirit, we serve Jesus in this house. They comply, and we live happily.

“Bringing Africa closer”

Very well made and reflects the beauty of untamed Africa. Only suggestion is to include a better provision to hang it.
