El latón repujado adorna los rasgos de una imponente máscara africana. Por Awudu Saaed, representa a un sacerdote fetiche de la zona del río Densu en las tierras bajas de Akan en Ghana. "Una vez hubo una falta de lluvia durante un largo período y la gente se preocupó", dice. "Llamaron a un sacerdote fetiche que consultaba a los dioses en nombre de los jefes y del pueblo. Solicitaba ciertos rituales, después de los cuales los cielos se abrían para dar lluvia. El sacerdote usaba esta máscara para realizar los rituales y, fiel a su palabra, Al tercer día llovió mucho."

Not sure how I stumbled upon this mask in the first place but from the moment I saw it, something about it haunted me. Its beautiful. I could NOT stop thinking about it and finally caved, and Im so glad I did. The colors, the beadwork, and the craftsmanship are all incredible. This is my favorite piece of art we own, by far. I cant wait to collect more of Awudu Saaeds work.
