Taking a cue from the elaborate masks worn by many cultures around the world, Thai artisan Somyot Sawasdee creates the original design of this mask with intricate tribal markings. He recycles paper with cement and finishes the wall mask with green and gold paint, creating the illusion of an aged bronze piece. Features a hook on the back.
