Deep in thought, a man sits, his head in his hand. The expressive world-weary abstract figure is designed by Ghana's Theophilus Anum. Artisans carve the sculpture by hand from sese wood and add a colorful cap of recycled glass beads. Baba is a Hausa word meaning "father".

The workmanship is superb, the colors are subtle but perfect, the piece has a certain heft that is hard to explain but much appreciated. Im sure to look for his pieces when I next order a mask.

"Due to financial constraints I could not complete my senior high school education. I could not just sit at home, so I went to Master Musah to learn how to carve."
