Ghanaian wood mask, 'The Seer'

Power resides in the eyes of this hand-carved sculpture shaped like the Anokye mask of the Akwapim people (Aburi). Meaning "look" or "see," the Anokye mask is believed to see into the spirit world. Walter Kuma carves an admirable sese wood sculpture featuring a bright headdress and brass inlay.

An artisan story card will be included with your purchase.

Walter Kuma

"My name is Walter Kuma, and I was born in Ghana on October 22, 1981. I got interested in Ghanaian and African carvings when I was a child, because they have been an important art form for many generations. Africans adore carving, because it is filled with historic and spiritual significance. So when I finished middle school I chose to learn the trade, and I was apprenticed to Mr. Kofi Adjei.

"Now I have my own workshop, where I design and carve the things I like. I also have three young apprentices learning the trade. I carve different masks that represent the value of the family, unity and our ancestors. African masks have a strong social, ethnic, historic and symbolic meaning. I have not attended any exhibitions personally, but the people that have bought my work have exhibited in their galleries or take them to different African-theme exhibitions."

I just received the pair of statues 'Senufo Man and Wife'. I'm so happy with my purchase. They're even more amazing then I expected. I display them proudly for all my friends to see....
