Crafted and painted by hand, this colorful mask is the work of Abdul Aziz Mohamadu. Embossed aluminum adorns the cheeks for contrast and textural interest, and the white tonalities come from applications of clay. An original design from his own imagination, this mask is named Daimuwa, a Hausa word meaning "persisting to get something accomplished."
This is my favorite African mask. The colors are vivid and it looks exactly as pictured. For added interest, you get information about the carver.. Mary. Antioch, IL. Wed Feb 12 2020
