African Mask

The mask I choose is made of ebony wood. A strong dark wood that is easy to carve into with the right tools but really hard to break by anything else. Africans use this wood for most of there masks because it is so strong. 

The mask that I choose to write about is a black mask, with thin drawings on elephants, and snakes on it. The animals are drawn with a gold and really pop out on the mask. It is a long narrow mask, with an open mouth at the bottom and eye holes in the middle. I really like it because it stands out and really pops with the different colors, and it looks like it is made for someone tough. This mask lets us know that they are one with nature and love all the animals that surround them. 

Blind Belief is Dangerous

The saying "Blind Belief is Dangerous" comes from Western Kenya.

The meaning of the saying Blind Belief is Dangerous means that you should not just believe what you hear because it is not always true, and that you should know it first before you tell anyone else. At least this is just what I think it means.
