Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that the product arrived in good condition and was well packaged. Our apologies for the delay (caused due failed delivery attempt?) in shipping and the lack of information during the transition to the Spanish carrier. We always ship with PostNL to give the best experience, but this time it wasn’t unfortunately. We hope you enjoy your object.

Eine besonders schöne und ausdrucksstarke Maske, schnell und gut verpackt verschickt.Die Quittung mit allen wesentlichen Informationen beigefügt. Ein schönes Stück, das meine Fantasie anregt.

Colon figuur is ook in het echt prachtig. Staat mooi tussen de andere Afrikaanse beeldjes, waaronder 1 andere colon. In goede orde en op tijd ontvangen.

Prachtige maskers. Heb ze gekocht oor mijn winkel als decoratie. Ze dampen wel links uit........als zware shag.

Emballage trop précaire. Pas sérieux pour une sculpture de 1000 euros. Et quelque soit le prix. Une œuvre ce respect ainsi que le client. Pour la suite. Prévoir des emballages PRO plus important .
