Ghanaian artisan Abdul Aziz Mohamadu creates this stunning mask that is hand carved from rubberwood to resemble a woman's face. The extravagant head wear is covered with intricately textured aluminum repoussé metalwork, which creates a lovely contrast against the hand-painted pastel pink and spring green wood. The artisan names his unique design okuyigugu, which is a Zulu word that translates to "precious."

"Another Winner!"
Very striking color combination. The detail that appears looks similar to netting. This mask blends well with the Stunning-Amahle wood-mask I previously purchased.

"Dramatic Beauty!"
This is the second mask by this artist that I have purchased. This one is more petite and fits well into the artistic scheme on my Livingroom wall.
