This mask of lavish elegance is to be worn by adult women when they attend a marriage. According to the beliefs of the Guro people from Cote d'Ivoire, it will protect them from the evil eye coming from people who disagree with marriage ceremonies. Salihu Ibrahim creates a stunning sese wood replica which he carves by hand, expertly detailing a bird perched on the forehead looking downwards. Known as kandjan, this long neck bird symbolizes beauty.
