Abdul Aziz Mohamadu creates the original design of this mask which he names Daimuwa, the Hausa term for "persisting to get something accomplished." He is inspired by those worn by the Chamba tribes of Nigeria during their Chambalare festival, which celebrates the abundance of food after a prolonged period of drought and hunger. A mask of striking beauty, it is carved by hand of African rubberwood, adorned with embossed aluminum on the forehead, nose, cheeks and mouth, and finished with painted details.

Abdul is such a talented craftsman and artist, as well. I have had this beautiful box sitting on my coffee table for quite some time now. My apologies to Abdul for the overdue review. Thanks again, Abdul!

The mask lacks vibrance. The colors are dull. Very Primitive in nature. The red doesnt appear as vivid as the photo. The size is nice. I recognize that one cant duplicate a mask over and over exactly due to it being handmade.
