Sleek and beautiful, this mask is minimalist in design. Sinclair Yao Daley carves it by hand and gives it a rich brown color with natural cola nut dye. "This mask is considered a protector against evil spirits by the Fang people of Gabon," he explains. "It has been worked into an orderly pattern and it therefore imparts tremendous benefits."

"Bundu woman"
After visiting Sierra Leone and dancing with the Bundu women group, I fell in love. This is a great and authentic carving, one of very few offered from Sierra Leone.
