Description

Salihu Ibrahim crafts a striking mask intended to protect and fight evil where it hangs. He calls the mask i Toura /i , which in the language of Ghanas Hausa people means "Strong." Ibrahim crafts the mask by hand with sese wood featuring a jute hair and beard, as well as a headdress trimmed with raffia. Red cotton threads trim the aluminum mask over the large, expressive eyes.
