My mother and step-father collect these (only fakes). Their bedroom is 
done in a safari theme. Elephants painted on the walls, African masks 
and art, electric torches, etc.. This woman is up for a (National 
Association of Home Builders) Prism award, and this is how she decorates 
her bedroom. Your quiet render looks so mysterious and interesting (as 
opposed to tacky) in comparison.

The mask material looks excellent to me. That is the same weird material 
I run into occasionally that even on close inspection can only *just* be 
identified as "some kind of wood". Maybe the finish is correct, but the 
light source is too bright in relation to whatever "global" light is 
present??? I've never seen one of these under a spotlight.

The model looks off to me where the ear attachers to the head. Is the 
ear nailed on or carved into the mask?
