Carved by hand, this elegant mask represents imperishability and endurance. An African adinkra symbol on the forehead represents hye wonhye, meaning "that which does not burn." "This symbol gets its meaning from traditional priests who were able to walk on fire without burning their feet, an inspiration to others to endure and overcome difficulties," artisan Theophilus Sackey confides. He covers the features with hand-embossed aluminum.

"Fabulous!"
I received this mask today. It is even more beautiful in person than online. I am so pleased! Surprisingly, the mask appears to be black and white only in the online image. In fact, the elephant appears a deep rich purple. This enhances the image. Its a wonderful art work.
