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.

"The Tiger is so powerful in appearance."





I really like this piece of art. He is ferocious and protective at the same time. I especially like animal masks. I have placed this beautiful mask in a position of honor on my mask wall. Kudos to the artist.
