About this item: A stately beauty pervades a mask with innate dignity. Regal yet not imperious, a beautiful woman wears an ornate repoussé diamond on her forehead. Abdul Aziz Mohamadu transforms native African rubberwood into an African mask of his own design. He names it Osale, meaning "You have a child." About our Artist: 'I always knew I wanted to paint, but wasn't sure I could make a living out of it, so I looked into other fields too,' recalls Abdul Aziz Mohamadu. 'I observed master carver Musa at his workshop for a period of time, then I picked up a log of wood and started carving out a mask as I had observed him doing. This surprised Musa and he was willing to help me perfect the skill. I developed a love for this new art, and that's how I eventually became a master carver too!'
