If you go to the village, you may hear the faint sound of the drum signaling the arrival of the Masquerade. The Masquerade is revered highly in Naijaland for its many functions in pre-colonial society.

Some even say the gods themselves take over those chosen to adorn the Mask. This print is 8” by 8”.
