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.

Absolutely beautiful and amazing Craftswomanship!
I love octopuses - they are smart and fascinating. So I was very excited to see these beaded ones, and had a really hard time deciding which color to choose. But I'm so happy with the blue one, with it's gradations of blue and purple tones and minute detail. (Still trying to figure out how on earth its VERY delicate shapes were created. I've done a bit of beadwork myself, but NOTHING as like this.) Truly impressive!
