Framed with colorful zigzags, an elongated oval forms a tranquil face. Golden hues define the features, embellished by richly embossed sheets of brass. Juliana Akandas designs a mask used by the Fulani people, nomadic cattle herders of northern Nigeria. Akandas uses sese wood to sculpt the hand-painted mask.
