Working with local artisans in Ghana, Victoria Agyepomaa designs this colorfully assertive mask that is hand carved from sese-dua wood. The cheeks and forehead of the mask are adorned with stunningly textured aluminum repoussé metalwork, which creates a brilliant contrast against the painted wood. The artisan uses brass plate for the eyelids, which sit above hollowed eyes. Victoria names her design msizi which is a Zulu word meaning "helper".

"I gave this away"
This looked nice in the picture, but the piece itself looked scary. In profile, this zebra has a mouth full of white teeth as if its grinning. The detail work on the front of the face was beautiful, but the paint on the eyes was very sloppy and they looked strange, like goats eyes. I thought about repainting it, but I was honestly unnerved by it when I unwrapped it, and put it in the utility room in my building so someone else could have it if they wanted.
