African Masks come in many different styles and forms but this one is particularly unusual, as it has been crafted using different tones of masonia wood. Masonia wood is well known in Africa for its hardwearing properties. The grain of the wood can be clearly seen in all of the tones of this mask and actually adds to the interest of this piece. The combination of tones adds to the uniqueness of this abstract, which is of an African woman as can be seen by earrings and the headdress. This is a distinctive piece of African art, which would compliment whichever room it is placed in.
