Details

Whispering words of encouragement, this is a protective spirit for women throughout pregnancy, and a celebratory spirit when the baby is born. The mysterious personage represents the Dan people who inhabit the mountainous regions of the Ivory Coast. Renowned for their mask tradition, they ably depict an astonishing range of expression in their hand-carved works. Salihu Ibrahim creates a faithful replica with this authentic African mask.
