Details

With its demure gaze and beautiful ornamentation, this mask comes from northern Ghana. Such masks are representative of the Gonja and Mamprusi people. "Most of their farmers and hunters send part of their first harvest to the chief's palace to be shared with the less fortunate in the community. In return, the chief presents this mask to each person as a sign of recognition and statesmanship," says Evelyn Kafui Ahianyo. "This piece encourages sharing and giving." Her design is carved from African sese wood and displayed on an iron stand.
