Carved by hand, this elegant mask depicts a scimitar. Rich applications of aluminum repoussé add texture and enhance its beauty, and a bird perches on the head. Artisan Theophilus Sackey names this original design afena, meaning "sword" in Ghana's Akan language.

The best description of this piece is sexy. Curves of the stripping coupled with colored lips and lids ... awesome!

I received this mask today. It is even more beautiful in person than online. I am so pleased! Surprisingly, the mask appears to be black and white only in the online image. In fact, the elephant appears a deep rich purple. This enhances the image. Its a wonderful art work.
