Carved by hand, this African mask represents Opanyin, an "elderly person" in the Akan language. Theophilus Sackey covers the features with hand-embossed aluminum and carves rich textures on the head and eyes. Subtle color further enhances a mask of elegance and beauty.

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

I have an ever growing collection of African masks and the green featured in this work of art pops beautifully!

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.
