Serene features convey sensibility and closed lips wisely hold silence. Sculpted of sese wood, elegant contours painted by hand merge with the texture of brass repoussé. Juliana Akandas designs a mask used in northern Ghana when misunderstandings arise. "It represents three qualities, which are courage, sense and wisdom," she explains. She names the piece Fon, meaning "three wise friends."

"Very Unusal"
This is a very unique and well made mask, love the various textures used by the artist. The weight of this piece is very substantial. The name given by the artist appealed to me as an individual.
