A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST ABOUT MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE: "Muso Masiri's work is handmade, using mostly recycled resources from Mali. In Mali, women take pride in the jewelry they wear, especially because of the historical and cultural significance associated with it. Muso Masiri means "the decoration of women" and we seek to bring the spirit of Malian women and their pride in their culture to you through our jewelry. Our goal is to decorate women all around the world with our art and to bring a small piece of Mali to each of them. "
