African Tribal Bird Mask
African Tribal Bird Mask
Traditional handcrafted art from the Continent. The techniques in woodworking (exclusively handicrafts) that have been perfected over generations guarantee the excellent quality of the various sculptures.
This mask is created by local artists from the Ashanti tribe of Akan people. It is believed that artisans are able to sense the spiritual power that dwells in the materials they use to create masks. The energy of the spirit is thought to inhabit the artist's instruments, so their tools must be handled with extreme caution. As the mask gradually begins to take shape, the object is believed to acquire more supernatural abilities.
Dimensions: 27 x 9 inches
