This kind of mask is worn horizontally on top of the head with the jaws to the front. The masquerader's "helper" holds up the rear during the dance.

Purchasing this piece was a mistake and I subsequently sold it. Because of its size I found it impossible to integrate into my "decor".

I collect African Art. I have about 200 pieces at this time. Through the years in order to support my hobby I have read a selection of books about African American, Afro-Caribbean and continental African culture and art.

The print on the left is a Klee, the one on the right is a Miro. African art goes very well with modern.

I'm fairly satisfied with the composition but the quality of the photograph leaves a lot to be desired. I'll keep trying.
