Robert Nortey carves a beautiful sese wood replica of the Suaga mask of the Mambila people. They live south of the Adamana Mountains on the border between Cameroon and Nigeria -- either can be considered as their country of origin. The Suaga mask is used during the festival of the same name, which marks the beginning and the end of the agricultural cycle. Nortey adorns the mask with embossed aluminum plates to resemble tribal scarifications.

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!
