Ceremonial rabbit mask from the Dogon people of Mali. The ochre color, reminiscent of the sheer Bandiagara Escarpment, and the deep, aged color create a quiet contrast that subtly defines the space. The shadows created by the light near the wall bring out the form, and though not flashy, it has a presence that draws the eye. The zigzag pattern in the center is a traditional motif symbolizing "the cycle of life," and the precision of the lines reflects the maker's skillful technique. Perfect for a study, a Japanese-style room, or a corner of a gallery. In our home, our young son called it "the face that protects us," and it has been a part of our lives for a long time. For those who want to welcome it with its story.
