Replete with rich symbolism, this exquisite African mask is handcrafted by Ghanaian artisan Joana Addo. Seasoned sese wood is hand-carved to form an elongated face with a striking expression. Embossed aluminum repoussé adds attractive textures that complement finely hand-painted details. This powerful warrior wears an Ashanti adinkra symbol on his forehead — akoben, which means "vigilance."
