Una magnífica madera Owo máscara evoca la gloria de la cultura de África Occidental, hecha a mano por el maestro artesano Daniel Nyadedzor. "Owo", pronunciado "owwor" en el dialecto local, significa serpiente. Una máscara mística, tiene dos serpientes entrelazadas reclinadas en la cresta, complementada con un llamativo rostro humano en la frente. Otra característica interesante es la pipa que fuma en su boca abierta. Placas de metal grabadas con hermosos símbolos africanos adornan la frente y la nariz.

Sese, una madera local del este de Ghana, se talla a mano con paciencia y se lija para lograr la forma deseada. Luego, la pieza se pinta delicadamente con emulsión negra y se recubre con potasio. Después de un cuidadoso pulido, se aplican tonos rojos a la pieza para darle un aspecto rústico. Esta obra histórica es una maravillosa adición a cualquier colección.
