Details

This striking decorative statue is created by West African artisan Frank Odei Amoani. In the Bambara tradition, a tyi wara crest mask representing an antelope is worn on the top of a dancer's head during ceremonies of sowing and harvesting. For this crest mask, the shape of a male antelope with two horns is first carved from dark sese wood, the sculpture is painted, and then local clay is applied to give it an aged look.
