Friday Museum Sketches
Today’s sketch is from the Seattle Art Museu’s extensive collection of West African masks. This one is a wooden Baga headdress from Guinea called a Baga Nimba or D’mba.
The D’mba serves as a symbol of motherhood for the Baga people. They were also an inspiration for Pablo Picasso who bought two from Gertrude Stein in 1918.
