About this Item
Called "Ngando's Shadow," this wood wall mask arrives with a name that carries the full weight of its meaning: according to Ghanaian artisan George Akologo, it is "a deeply meaningful name rooted in the rich traditions of Central and West African folklore, where names are given to masks to tell a story of nature, power and the unseen spirit world." The hand-painted and carved sese wood wall accent boasts a distinct split palette, with weathered bronze-brown commanding one half of the face and deep black the other, unified by a dark blue arched hairline that draws the two worlds together. Triangular carvings mark the cheeks while subtle lighter wood undertones emerge from within the sculpted details, adding a final layer of quiet complexity to this remarkable artwork.
