With wide ears alert, an elephant rises tall above this mask by Salihu Ibrahim. The long, strong trunk reaches downward to explore this proud personage. Salihu Ibrahim finds an exquisite balance in the wide shoulders and elongated earrings, demonstrating his refined aesthetic. Hand-carved of African sese wood, the mask comes from the Guro tribe from Cote d'Ivoire; the elephant symbolizes strength.

"Wonderful mask"
I was very excited to receive this mask. It makes a great impression against the white wall where I wanted to place it. I love the geometric design and quirkiness of the face which evokes laughter and good humor for me.
