My newly found tresure
I have been collecting some African art, including the bust of a beautiful African woman which took me many years to find and to find just that right piece. The hand-carved Continent of Africa includes five carved-out animals which I hope you can see. It was a huge find. But when I stumbled upon Novica and the African Mask. Well, it was like finding the Rosetta stone. Your masks have found their way into my heart and a wonderful place in my home that I proudly display and want to share with you. I have many beautiful collectibles from all over the world. I believe I collect these items because I feel they bring me closer to all the magnificent people GOD has placed on earth. I hope you enjoy the photo I sent. I do understand that only five of the seven pieces are your creations. Thank you and to the other artists for your fine work in preserving history and a fine culture. Thank you again, Mr. Godfred France. I also forgot to mention that my favorite mask is 'God is Supreme'

So happy with this mask
I love the dimensions of this mask. Substantial but not overpowering. The bead colors are not quite as bright as pictured but really close. The metal work is superb. Overall gorgeous. I was particularly impressed by the packaging. Coming from Africa, the mask was first wrapped in Kraft wrapping paper, taped at each end, then a second same type wrapping. It was placed in a strong cardboard box that was just the size of the wrapped mask and didn't allow for movement inside. Definite pride by the craftsperson.
