Awudu Saaed designs this splendid mask to share the meaning of Matemasie, the Adinkra symbols that means "What I hear, I keep." Detailed on the forehead of this hand-carved sese wood mask, the implied meaning of this legendary symbol is "I understand," for understanding means wisdom and knowledge, but it also represents the prudence of taking into consideration what another person has said. Saaed paints the mask black with green and red details.

"Absolutely perfect"
The pictures dont do this piece justice - the colors are even more beautiful in person, and the intricate detail work is noteworthy.

"Incredible Artwork"
Not sure how I stumbled upon this mask in the first place but from the moment I saw it, something about it haunted me. Its beautiful. I could NOT stop thinking about it and finally caved, and Im so glad I did. The colors, the beadwork, and the craftsmanship are all incredible. This is my favorite piece of art we own, by far. I cant wait to collect more of Awudu Saaeds work.
