Ghanaian wood mask, 'Good Chief Balumba'

Carved by hand, this African mask commemorates a beloved chief in the Northern Region of Ghana. Wilson Aboagye depicts him with a circular face and astute eyes as the personage speaks to his people. "Balumba was a very good person who donated to the orphanages in the North. This chief was touched by the sufferings of his people and took steps to address them," the artisan says.

An artisan story card will be included with your purchase.
