Raphat Asigbey crafts this figurative statuette to honor the transition from girlhood to womanhood. In Ghana, these figures are given to girls on the cusp of adulthood to help usher in a new phase in their lives. The artisan crafts the figure from sese wood and recycled glass beads, naming his work Woezor, a Ghanaian Ewe word meaning "welcome."

I was so looking forward to adding this mask to my collection of masks but was disappointed to find that it was not carved out to create a hollow back like my other masks. This is a solid piece which makes it heavier than necessary. I am wary to hang this on the wall along with my other masks given the weight so I will have to lay it down on the table as a conversation piece. I also wish the paint less skimpy.
