Product Description
This large, one-of-a-kind Haitian metal mask by Joseph Libernier is a powerful example of traditional craftsmanship combined with inventive use of recycled materials.
Measuring approximately 20.25 inches wide by 42.5 inches tall, this striking wall sculpture is handcrafted from recycled steel drum metal and incorporates found objects, including barrel caps and bicycle chain elements, used to create expressive dangling earrings.
The mask form holds deep cultural and spiritual significance in Haiti, particularly within Vodou (Voodoo) traditions, where masks and symbolic faces can represent spirits, ancestors, or protective forces. This piece reflects that heritage through its bold features, textured surface, and commanding presence.
Joseph Libernier, a respected Haitian artist trained in the Croix-des-Bouquets tradition, is known for his ability to transform discarded industrial materials into compelling works of art. Every detail in this piece is cut, hammered, and assembled by hand—no two are ever alike.
The combination of sculpted steel and salvaged materials gives this work a layered, dimensional quality, making it both a cultural artifact and a striking piece of wall décor.
