“Beautiful, masterful and moving1”

This wonderful achievement from Winfred Ansah Okoampah captures the essence of love and trust between father and son without relying on superficial sentiment or cliché. This is the work of a master carver who understands human emotions at a profound level.

“So beautiful and sophisticated”

I debated a bit before initially purchasing the mask due to the slightly higher cost, but once I saw it in person I think every cent was worth it. The mask is beautifully done, sophisticated, and makes a stunning centerpiece on one of our smaller walls. The mask itself is pretty large and demands attention. It contrasts beautifully with our white wall and neutral tone furniture.
