Seven hand-crafted Masks carved from dark ebony wood, symbolising the days of the week & traditionally hung by the entrance to a home.
Skillfully made by the craftspeople of the Artisans`Village in Senegal, West Africa and brought directly from them to you.
Each mask is 11" / 28 cm tall & weighs 0.3 kg / 0.7 lbs. They have a metal hoop to hang on the back.
The Masks are pictured in order with Monday being on the left hand side.
The days of the week in the local Wolof language:
Monday - Alteneh [al-ti-ney]
Tuesday - Talarta [ta-laa-ta]
Wednesday - Arlahrba [al-lar-ba]
Thursday - Alheames [al-kha-mes]
Friday - Arjuma [aj-ju-ma]
Saturday - Gaaw [gaa-woo]
Sunday - Dibéér [dee-beyr]
As each is individually made there may be slight differences to those pictured.
