soft facemasks

Floral tendrils embrace the face of a Balinese woman with soft cheeks and an enigmatic smile. Eliciting her portrait from hibiscus wood, Eka designs this exquisite mask. Hibiscus wood varies widely in its tones and patterns, thus each mask is an absolutely unique work of art.

With a face like a teddy bear, the koala is a charming resident of Australia. Nengah Sudarsana carves a delightful mask that realistically captures the marsupial's soft fur and bright eyes. Sculpted of albesia wood, it is meticulously painted by hand.

Target-like circles on the face identify this ethereal winged creature as a butterfly. Gliding on soft wings, the mask represents a nature spirit among the Bwa tribe of Burkina Faso. The zigzag motif signifies the ancestral path which every Bwa must follow in order to master life. Salihu Ibrahim carves the elegant image from African sese wood.
