Naamah's Dove Mask

MADE TO ORDER at my Etsy shop [link]
And Artfire (for those who want to checkout without logging in) [link]

Created as part of a pair of masks in a themed set:


Inspired by the Kushiel's Legacy series of books by Jacqueline Carey.

When Elua was hungry and Mother Earth's creatures could not sustain him, the fallen angel, Naamah, would lay with strangers on their path. Her symbol is the dove, which her acolytes release when they pledge themselves to her service.

This mask is carved from 8 oz leather and painted with acrylic paints. Sealed with Satin Liquitex varnish and accented with Swarovski crystal cabochons. It is affixed the face with elastic cord, which is adjusted by tightening or loosening the knot at the suitable length.

Signed and dated by the artist on the back.
