Many tribes across Mali focused their mask-making on bold, heightened forms. The attention to shape seen in the facial features here is a perfect example. Finely detailed geometry gives this mask a sense of balance and proportion that is often eschewed for more expressionistic forms.

What They're Saying

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
