“The mask is small, portable, and highly desirable. Collectors would give their left arm for something like this.”

“In the parlance of the great metaphysical artist Giorgio DeChirico: "...not only originality (in terms of importance to an artist's work), but the contemplation of origins." There are no better means to study one's origins then viewing the magnificent artistic treasures left behind by humanity's ancestors. As an artist, I am very pleased and honored to be a member of SAFE; an organization that is obstinately toiling in the serious service of art and the protection of cultural patrimony.”
