Emmanuel Austin Ankude in Ghana crafts this horned mask to honor the Bakwele people, a Bantu ethnic group found in Cameroon, Gabon, and the Republic of the Congo. The artisan hand carves the mask from sese wood with a round face and surprised mouth, then paints the surface in harmonious shades of brown.

"Striking handsome statue"
Very masculine piece, beautifully finished. Its posture conveys an impression of strength, prowess and resilience, which I expect would have been the tribal intent of these sort of pieces. Will be treasured, thanks
