Carved of sese wood and covered with embossed aluminum sheet in green, this African mask features petite beads of recycled glass. Ghanaian artisan Abdulai Osman Adam crafts the mask by hand in the Nigil masquerade style of the Fang tribe, accenting it with brass eyes. Ngil masks are worn by Fang men during certain ceremonies held to welcome new members, as well as to bring criminals to justice.

"Perfect symbol"
For years my son and I used a single musical note as a symbol between the two of us. Finding this was such a treat. It was a perfect gift for him and designed in such a way that it was masculine enough.
