Somber, the impressive visage stares from beneath thick brows, long hair drawn back from a wide forehead of vast intelligence. His eyes have seen the great beyond, and he is reaping his just merits. This is not always so. In West Africa, it is believed that when people who do good die, their ghosts are good ones, but for those who do evil, their ghosts must atone. Samuel Coleman creates this extraordinary ghost mask in native sese wood. He carefully sculpts the figure and lets the wood dry naturally before polishing it to a fine finish with black, brown and mansion polish. Saman Pa means good ghost.
