Hand-Carved African Tweneboa Wood Wall Mask of Woman, "King's Child"

This hand-carved African wood mask is crafted from tweneboa wood by Ghanaian artisan Daniel Asante. The mask portrays a beautiful feminine character inspired by the artist's own design. The careful use of acrylic paint and polish highlight the woman's alluring hair, eyes, and lips. The artisan refers to this work as oheneba, meaning "King's Child" in Twi, a dialect spoken by the Akan people of Ghana.
