African wood mask, 'Orange Adoo'

Roberta

Sep 28, 2017

Simple but eye-catching

My sister and her husband collect ethnic masks, and this one is unlike any they have. I liked that it's so narrow, which should make it easy to find a place for it. Also, their other masks are mostly bare wood, and the color on this gives it more of a presence, even though it's smaller than their other pieces.

African mask, 'Dan Dark Spirit'

Diana

Jan 6, 2020

I love the power of this mask.

This mask is a very powerful and well made piece. It sparks a lot of conversation because it is the first one people go to and ask about. I wish I knew more about it and its history.
