Hand-carved from sese wood, this African wood mask is titled Maame Sankofa or "Mother of Sankofa" by its designer, Abdul Aziz Mohamadu. Sankofa is a Twi word meaning "reach back and get it." The Sankofa adinkra symbol of a bird taking an egg off its back is a representation of the belief that the past should serve as a guide for planning the future. It is created on this mask using recycled glass beads.

"Another Winner!"
Very striking color combination. The detail that appears looks similar to netting. This mask blends well with the Stunning-Amahle wood-mask I previously purchased.
