Carved by hand, this elegant mask represents imperishability and endurance. An African adinkra symbol on the forehead represents hye wonhye, meaning "that which does not burn." "This symbol gets its meaning from traditional priests who were able to walk on fire without burning their feet, an inspiration to others to endure and overcome difficulties," artisan Theophilus Sackey confides. He covers the features with hand-embossed aluminum.
