Unique piece
The “Villico del Togo settentrionale” mask can be worn but also used as a decoration to hang or display on a flat surface.
The name is “Villico del Togo settentrionale” because the design and the smile are typical of the traditional masks of northern Togo.
The mask was created through a meticulous technique that requires 12 to 16 hours of processing:
- Clay sculpture
- Clay mold (plaster casting)
- Clay extraction and mold finishing
- Laying of paper and gauze
- Post production (gluing, cutting of eyeholes, coloring)
The materials used are: glass mastic, alabaster plaster, newspaper, vaseline (to maintain the mold), vinyl glue, sandpaper, brushes, cans of acrylic color, beeswax.
