Esta máscara africana alargada con dos caras está tallada a mano en madera de sesé por Ernestina Oppong Asante. Aunque el tallado en madera es tradicionalmente dominio de los hombres, esta talentosa artesana ghanesa se ha establecido como talladora gracias a su propia artesanía. Este diseño es una creación original basada en el arte del pueblo Bobo.

Entre el pueblo bobo de Burkina Faso y Mali, las máscaras se usan en rituales para ayudar a conectar a los humanos con la naturaleza y los dioses. En las ceremonias, los portadores de máscaras pierden sus identidades individuales y se convierten en parte de la divinidad que se cree que se encuentra dentro de las máscaras.
