About this item: To the Yaure people of Cote d'Ivoire this mask symbolizes togetherness. Carved of sese wood, a face of solemn features is crowned with the image of two birds face-to-face. Salihu Ibrahim crafts this replica by hand, and as the birds' beaks come into contact their bodies outline a heart. About our Artist: 'Upon the death of my father, I was sent to live with one of my father's closest friends, a renowned traditional carver to the then Akwamu chief and the people of Akwamu,' Salihu Ibrahim says. 'I worked with him for about 15 years, during which time I learned the styles and techniques of the Ashanti and Akwamu people. My work began to flourish and achieve recognition, and today, I have apprentice carvers working with me to learn the art of carving.'
