Samuel Lovi blends custom and legend in the creation of these decorative masks. In Africa wise men are regarded as very important people, whatever they say comes to pass, so people take seriously everything they say, explains Lovi. So I also looked at the three wise men that visited the baby Jesus to mold this product, to be used as room décor during Christmas. The two smiling masks are handcrafted with clay, embellished with kaolin and they both feature raffia earrings.
