This charming mask takes the shape of a full moon with human features. Decorated with parallel lines, it represents a zebra. "The zebra is known to be cute and gentle. So I took the opportunity to depict it," Abdul Karim Star says. Such masks come from the Dagomba people of Ghana.
• About the Artist: From the northern region of Ghana Abdul Karim Star learned histcraft from a local artisan who had become a mentor to him when he was a young boy. "With time, a friendship developed and I became fascinated with his craft -- he was a wood carver. I regarded him as a very interesting man and believed this transcended into his art. I eventually joined his group of trainees, and eventually I became a carver in my own right. My work has enabled me to support my parents, my brother and sisters."
