Aluminum and Sese Wood African Carved Mask of a Town Crier, "The Town Crier"
News source, messenger, and gossip-monger all rolled into one, town criers play a noble roll in keeping communities informed. Ghanaian artist Kobina Asmah pays tribute to this profession with a stunningly beautiful carved sese wood mask adorned with aluminum plates. The mask looks to be in the middle of yelling something, yet its face is calm and majestic.
