Raphat Asigbey designs a mask called Lorm, a Ghanaian Ewe word meaning "adore me." Ghanaian artisans carry out Raphat's vision by hand carving the mask from sese wood with local tools, crafting a patterned cap and elaborate nose before painting the surface in hues of brown, green, and yellow.

Delightful table, beautifully made, and very effective.

I was so looking forward to adding this mask to my collection of masks but was disappointed to find that it was not carved out to create a hollow back like my other masks. This is a solid piece which makes it heavier than necessary. I am wary to hang this on the wall along with my other masks given the weight so I will have to lay it down on the table as a conversation piece. I also wish the paint less skimpy.
