Long and slender, this African mask is crowned by a colorful face. Daniel Quarcoo transforms sese wood into a design of his own, adding brass and copper inlay, aluminum repousse and colorful seed beads. He names this mask Banku Ta, which denotes the long stirring stick Ghanaian cooks use while preparing the cornmeal stew known as "banku."

It really is made with love and care and that is evident. The super tiny dots painted on the face have been carefully placed and meticulously plotted out. I give full credit to this artist and the patience put into putting out this beautiful piece of work!
