Kangaroos symbolize ambition and protection, making their image a good sign for heroic souls. Inspired by these strong creatures, Ghanaian artisan George Asante uses sese wood and ceramic to create this traditional African mask in a classic palette of blue and brown hues. As the final touch, aluminium plates add a lustrous touch to the accessory, with an embossed Kangaroo detail at the centre.
