Studded Dan Maou Mask

In an exclusive collaboration with PAGODA RED, Chicago artist the bms. adds a contemporary twist to our collection of one-of-a-kind African art objects. Guided by its geometric linework, the bms. uses silver and gold tacks to accentuate the sculptural form of this wooden African mask. Attributed to the Dan people of Cote d'Ivoire, this decorated mask now blends the imaginative forms of tribal art with the bold layering of maximalist aesthetics. Marked by the artist's golden touch, the studded mask catches the light beautifully from every angle.
