Hand Carved African Mask with Raffia, "Northern Water Spirit"
Concentric lines accentuate the contours of this bold and authentic African mask. Carved by hand of seasoned sese wood, the face is framed with raffia hair. "In the northern region of Ghana, farmers put such masks in their farms to help them have good rains for a good harvest," says artisan Emmanuel Opoku Asante.

"Absolutely Beautiful"
It took a little while for this mask to arrive because of the hurricanes, and it was worth the wait. I call this Northern Spirit Mask my Donald Trump mask, noting the correlation between money and water. When I displayed my Dan Protector Mask, I heard the Spirits rhythmic song as they were released to do thier work. I am a Christian and believe in the Holy Spirit embodied in these masks. Thanks Mr. Opoku. Sincerely, Dan.

"Never Feel Alone"
Democracy and unity, a beautiful reminder of this sculpture to meditate upon when feeling alone and hopeless -- We are never alone and hope is very much alive, showing itself at the most tiniest sliver of love, accompanied by strength and perseverance. Love this piece!
