Daniel Asante talla un extraordinario tambor djembé en madera de tweneboa. Representa rostros solemnes en alto relieve que miran pensativamente desde la base. Ilustrando un dicho sabio, su nombre. Tikoro Nkoagyina es una palabra akan que significa "dos cabezas piensan mejor que una". El djembé se originó en Benin, donde se utiliza durante los ritos vudú, y se ha introducido en los países vecinos. Es indispensable en el reggae contemporáneo. La cabeza de piel de cabra está fijada mediante anillos de hierro envueltos en algodón y se puede colgar un cordón de macramé sobre el hombro.

I have purchased several masks. Each has been interesting in its own way but I think this one is my favorite and now hangs in my office where I can see it all day. I love the surface patterning and the unusual facial expression and configuration.
