Butterfly Bird Mask

This is outstanding! It hangs near our stairs after coming in the front door of the house. The craftsmanship is exquisite, and the colors flow into the space. When hung on a single hook it hangs at a slight angle, but I feel that accentuates it.

Beautiful Mask!

Incredible Artwork

Not sure how I stumbled upon this mask in the first place but from the moment I saw it, something about it haunted me. It's beautiful. I could NOT stop thinking about it and finally caved, and I'm so glad I did. The colors, the beadwork, and the craftsmanship are all incredible. This is my favorite piece of art we own, by far. I can't wait to collect more of Awudu Saaed's work.
