The Kru tribe believed in fear as a military strategy. They crafted "Many Eyed Masks" for their warriors to wear into battle. The terrifying visages made their warriors into monstrous foes. The sweeping horns, tubular eyes, and blocky jaw create a unique sculptural combination. The juxtaposition of shapes is one of the African aesthetics that inspired European colonialists as they developed Geometric Abstraction.

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
