Masks in a whole new Avatar

If you know me at all, you know I am crazy about Masks. Recently my father was complaining about not having a proper place to hang up his shirts so they wouldn't get wrinkled. I suggested we could put up some hooks. Then it hit me shy not make the hooks into something  decorative. So I America up with some Mask designs
My inspiration were the Tiki masks I figured the Masks would be the decorative element and the youngest would be the actual hooks. 
Mask one fresh from being cleaned 
Mask 2 fresh from being cleaned 
I used bronze for the base & brass for the ears, tounge & other elements. I made four of them unfortunately ended up using only two of them but here they are. I oxidised the bronze base & cleaned & buffed the brass elements. 
All four designs done 


The two that I ended up using fixed on the wall
Finally my Dad's clothes have a great place to be hung up on !
Aren't they cool, plus as a bonus when the shirts and hangers are not there the Masks look like wall art! :)
