Abstract
This study explored the viability of the Ghanaian indigenous vegetable tanned leather for the production of aesthetic masks for ornamental purposes. The study was basically experimental, and all processes were observed and recorded carefully for analysis. Modeling technique was principally used in three experiments to produce masks with three different thicknesses of leather acquired from cow hides. The thicknesses were purposively selected. The outcome of the study has confirmed the versatility of leather as alternative material for mask production. The study has strategically created another impetus in diversifying and expanding the utility of Ghanaian indigenous vegetable tanned leather aside the conventional usage for making bags, sandals and footrests. Keywords: Leather, Mask, Alternative Material, Sustainability
