Ghanaian Dogon Board-Like Mahogany Wall Relief Panel, "Atsula Dogon Board"

This wall relief panel is a testament to the exceptional beauty of African art and a tribute to the traditional Dogon boards of Mali. These revered objects were known for their intricate depictions of human and animal figures, serving as protectors of the household and warding off malevolent spirits. Ghana's Ayoma Alhassan creates his own version of those boards with a wall relief panel remarkably hand-carved in mahogany featuring eccentric figures, including monkey and bird-faced humans, turtles and more, each exquisitely adorned with accents made from a blend of charcoal and glue. They are further embellished by intricate hand-painted details that bring a pop of color to this stunning piece.
