"So Happy!"
I have purchased a number of these beautifully carved and painted masks and I am so pleased with Mr. Gleeful. He exudes exactly the happy sentiment that I needed to add and I smile every time I see him. Such wonderful artistry. I am sure you would love him as much as I do!

"Gleeful Smile"
Im delighted with the Gleeful Smile mask by Gusti Ngurah Semarajaya. I bought it to replace a very similar mask I bought in Bali about 30 years ago which was lost while moving house. And it was delivered in record time. Syabas.

"A new addition to my Turtle collection"
Gusti Ngurah is a true artist. Hope to collect all his turtles and small jewelry boxes as small rewards to myself. The details in his paint strokes are just incredible!
