This mask of solemn expression personifies a brave Akan okofo("warrior") from Ghana. His strong features are expertly detailed by master carver Wilson Aboagye. Working with manual tools, Aboagye transforms sese wood into an attractive mask featuring embossed brass plates as symbols of tribal scarrings.
