Description

'This type of mask is related to good fortune,' says Christopher Nyasafo of this mask. Replicating the art of the Bozo people of Nigeria, this horned mask is associated with a good fishing catch and is usually displayed on boats. Nyasafo hand-carves the sese wood wall mask by hand and decorates it with painted details.
