Art Bytes: Mabuh Mask

Each week, Art Bytes takes an expert deep dive into an important artwork from the Detroit Institute of Arts' collection. In this episode, gallery teacher Willie Moultrie tells us how to look at an amazing 19th-century African Chimpanzee Mask (Mabuh Mask), where it's from, who would wear it, and the meaning and symbolism of the wood, glass beads, and feathers that go into its creation.
