Daniel Quarcoo contribuye a la preservación de una antigua tradición africana con el diseño original de esta máscara. Tallada en madera de sese, la máscara está adornada con placas de aluminio ornamentadas repujadas a mano por Quarcoo en Ghana. Pintada a mano, el aspecto desgastado de la máscara se consigue con arcilla blanca. Agbemor, El símbolo de la oveja que representa "el camino de la vida" está detallado en la frente.

As a bird lover and parrot owner, this might be one of my favorite NOVICA purchases ever! I always appreciate those rare occasions when artists do a good job capturing bird personalities. The pictures in the listing looked like Mr. Quarcoo had done a good job, but it blows me away in person. This sculpture looks so lifelike and has so much personality that I genuinely keep expecting it to move. I rarely photograph my purchases. But I felt like I had to at least attempt it here, because I feel like the photos didnt do it justice. After several attempts across different settings, I dont feel like my photo does it justice either, but its in outdoor light and in a different angle an I feel like captures other facets of this parrots personality Mr. Quarcoo captured in this sculpture. Mr. Quarcoos page doesnt have any other sculptures of local wildlife currently, but I think he has a knack for it, and I will be checking his page periodically in the hopes that he does more.

Meticulously crafted. This is a beautiful piece of art for my collection and is also the right size and design for my Christmas cultural decor. However it is smaller than expected because the stand is included in the stated measurement.
