Description
A bird poses on the forehead of this imposing African mask by Abdul Aziz Mohamadu in Ghana. Strong rubber wood contours are carved and painted by hand, while applications of white clay and copper give the mask a vintage appearance. Product Features: Story Behind the Art: I always knew I wanted to paint, but wasn't sure I could make a living out of it, so I looked into other fields too,' recalls Abdul Aziz Mohamadu. 'I observed master carver Musa at his workshop for a period of time, then I picked up a log of wood and started carving out a mask as I had observed him doing. This surprised Musa and he was willing to help me perfect the skill. I developed a love for this new art, and that's how I eventually became a master carver too.
