Akan Wood Mask from Ghanaian Artisan, "Abundance"
This wondrous, mystical hand-carved sese wood mask comes from the Nyadedzor workshop. With a round face, half-closed eyes, and an open mouth, the mask bears the name Nkunim, meaning "to succeed". The piece is adorned with beautiful designs as well as aluminum plates, and it is provided with a coat of potassium for protection and finished for an antique appearance. The mask is a magnificent symbol of success in any home.

"Perfectly sized for Christmas Ornaments"
Another well-made set of African artwork to add to my cultural Christmas decor. The painted finish did need a bit of polish for the beauty of the details to shine, however.
