"A splendid achievement by an accomplished artisan!"

This exceptionally beautiful mask is excellent in every respect, from the concept and design to the choice and use of materials. Only a first-rate artist would even attempt something this complex, and Ibrahim Seyeed succeeds brilliantly!

"Absolutly beautiful"

This mask is extremely well made and is just beautiful. The colors are not garish. The colors have a shade that look old, and at the same time do justice to the beauty. Its adds a lot to my collection.
