Christopher Nyasafo carves this African mask from sese wood, fashioned after war shields used by the Bamun peoples from the eastern Grassfields region of Cameroon. Drawing on his lifetime of woodworking experience, the Ghanaian artisan runs his own workshop in the east of Ghana, where he carves the shape with regional methods, and later, after allowing it to dry for two weeks, he sands and paints it.
