Details

Theophilus Sackey creates a mask of powerful artistry of his own inspiration, marked on the forehead by the Gye Nyame Adinkra symbol. Representing God's omnipresence, Gye Nyame is crafted of aluminum and painted a golden hue. Sackey carves the sese wood mask by hand adorning the headdress with a smaller mask. Painted black and red, the cheeks are crafted with embossed aluminum to resemble tribal markings.
