A sleek expanse of naturally dried sese wood takes the shape of a serious personage. By Nana Frimpong, this beautiful mask is named Nshyira nka wo, "Blessings be unto you" in the Akan language. "It is not good to make fun of people because sometimes it is a curse," the master carver says. "Rather we should encourage people who will be a blessing to us."

"Perfect size for a small space"
This is just the right size to fit neatly in so many places. I reflect on the meaning each day as I leave the door of my bedroom where it reminds me to look honestly at the past and remember its lessons in order to build a better future.
