Mendy

This piece is inspired by an ancient Sowei helmet mask of Mende, West Africa. This mask is worn by the sowei, who are the highest-ranking individuals in the Sande society. The Sande are a masquerade society, or a group of masked dancers. They are one of the only masquerade societies in Africa made up of all women.
