Heart of Grief Nigerian Wood Wall Mask

Abdul Aziz Mohamadu

With eyes closed, a face is filled with sorrow in this mask by Abdul Aziz Mohamadu. "Among the Hausa people of Nigeria, such masks are given to a widow or widower," he explains.

He names the piece Zurufi, a Hausa word meaning "Deep Heart."

Senufo Proposal Hand Crafted African Malian Wood Mask

Salihu Ibrahim

(132)

A comb centers the headdress of this beautiful African mask, and the personage wears large earrings. Hand carved and painted, the sese wood image is crafted by Ghana's Salihu Ibrahim. It represents the Fulani people who have settled in Mali. Although thought to have West African origins, the Fula are also present throughout Central Africa and Sudanese North Africa. "We Africans tend to adopt certain cultural practices that we believe are good ones, and customs are also shared through inter-cultural marriage," Ibrahim explains. "Among Mali-dwelling Fulani, such masks are given to a woman as a marriage proposal. She responds by giving a Senufo monkey mask to her suitor as a sign of acceptance."

African wood and jute mask, 'Baule Gbekre II'

Dan Dolan

Oct 13, 2019

Magnificent monkey business!

Large, well made. Unique piece and a great addition to my collection. Artist is very talented. One down side, you have to rig your own way to hang. Would be better with a wire or hanger screwed into the inside of mask.

Two beautiful masks

I was unprepared for how beautiful these masks are (Be Patient and Kokobene Luck). They were purchased to hang on a wall in the main living area and they bring a sense of joy to the space. They help tie together other high quality African art that is scattered around a very open area.
