Details

By Otchere Raymond, this imposing mask is carved in the shape of the sandals traditionally worn in West Africa. Richly textured sheets of aluminum, embossed by hand, cover the face, and red accents bring color to this original design. "We must protect our tradition," the artisan affirms. He names this mask Ahenema, meaning "sandal" in the Twi language of Ghana's Akan people.

"Its beautiful!"

Sankofa Gleam looks just as wonderful in person as it did on the website. I love the combination of wood and metal, and of course the design is perfect -- it has become a focal point of the room. I can tell it was made very carefully, by someone who cares about his work. It comes with a leather loop attached to the back, too, so it was easy to hang. Im delighted!
