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

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.”
