Los círculos en forma de diana en la cara identifican a esta etérea criatura alada como una mariposa, mientras que algunos estudiosos creen que representa un murciélago o un halcón. La máscara, que se desliza sobre alas en forma de tablero de ajedrez, representa un espíritu de la naturaleza entre la tribu Bwa de Burkina Faso. Salihu Ibrahim talla la elegante imagen en madera de sese africana.

Stunning! We love it!”

We purchased all seven butterfly masks offered by Salihu Ibrahim. This one is my favorite. We thought maybe the checked pattern would be too bold and overwhelm the other masks in our display, but the carving and the subtle muted colors in the mask make it just right! We were surprised that there is a touch of indigo along with the predominant black and taupe, but decided that it just adds to the interest. The wood is light and easily hung. Perfect!
