Details

"Akiligo is a god that is worshipped by northerners, and if the god is pacified during the Harmattan season it gives the people a bountiful harvest. Akiligo is often believed to bless his devotees with rains, abundance and peace of mind." Inspired by this generous god, artisan Emmanuel Austin Ankude hand-carves a sese wood sculpture in a traditional style. The final touch is the steel ring on the figure's headdress.

“Stunning Mask created by Emmanuel”

I am so pleased with the African Baga mask carved so expertly by artisan Emmanuel Austin Ankude! ????

This mask will be in the center of other African objects but will standout from the rest!
