Details

Although adorned with richly embossed aluminum textures, his features are stern. This handsome mask is the work of Sefah Mohammed. "These masks are used by the Busanga people of Northern Ghana," he explains. "They use them to protect their groundnuts from people who intend to steal them. It is believed that when anyone goes into the farm with the intention of theft, the mask will arrest the person and he or she will be unable to move – caught with the groundnut in their hands."
