Maruvian Kran Mask Diptych

Original - Oil on gallery wrap canvas
10" x 30"

This was inspired by an ancient mask from the Kran people of Liberia. During this timeframe, the African slave trade was becoming more prominent and many of these masks were stolen and taken to Europe for their private collections. Ironically, this mask was used for healing practices.

This mask is one of three diptych canvases (which means two canvases to make one image) that I finished from my small works series.
