Hand carved, hand painted Miniature master piece by Silas Coon - Laughing Man Mask pendant

Superb quality - Silas always puts so much work into his artwork - he pays so much attention to details, truly remarkable. Have a look at the high quality craftsmanship. This is hand carved in impressive detail. The eyes are inlaid with tiny pieces of abalone, the painting is so clean, colors chosen just add to the expression. It's made to be worn as a pendant. I have displayed it in one image in a frame; Frame is not included

Measurements: 3 1/2" x 2 1/4" x 1" (9 cm x 5.5 cm x 2.5 cm)

Meaning: The Laughing Man is a hero, he has faithful friends, and can get away with almost anything. Doesn’t take anything serious but due to his foolishness, he is in danger of loosing his wife and his love
