Painted black and red, the cheeks are crafted with embossed aluminum to resemble tribal markings.

"Fabulous!"

I received this mask today. It is even more beautiful in person than online. I am so pleased! Surprisingly, the mask appears to be black and white only in the online image. In fact, the elephant appears a deep rich purple. This enhances the image. Its a wonderful art work.
