Ijele - El Rey de las mascaradas igbo is a one-of-a-kind MASK-WE Project mask painted by Benedictta Ogochukwu Nnaji.

Art with impact: MASK-WE is a women's economic empowerment initiative in West Africa. The sale of this mask provides the artist with resources to start a small-scale business supporting herself and her family.
Individual variations in carving, paint, color, and surface are part of the handmade character of this original artwork.
