The mask was slightly rounder in the face than the picture, but I like it! Great carving, and staining of the wood!

“Perfect size for a small space”

This is just the right size to fit neatly in so many places. I reflect on the meaning each day as I leave the door of my bedroom where it reminds me to look honestly at the past and remember its lessons in order to build a better future.
