Solemne y regia, la máscara "Onukpa" se usa cuando el rey del pueblo Ga fallece y su heredero asume el trono. Esta máscara de Onukpa, que significa tanto "pariente más cercano" como "anciano", es parte de una celebración que incluye tambores y bailes festivos. Ghana Robert Nortey talla a mano la réplica en madera de sese que representa un pájaro mirando hacia abajo desde la coronilla hasta la frente, que está decorada con arcilla blanca. Nortey también usa arcilla para crear las texturas en las mejillas de esta mascarilla marrón.

I have many beautiful masks that I have ordered through Novica and love them, and this mask, ?To Foresee? is no exception! While it it one of my less embellished and detailed masks, it still makes a big impression. Heavy, substantial, and the beautiful reddish color really makes an impact! So happy to have it as part of my collection!
