Carved by hand, this authentic African mask revels in bright, bold colors. An adinkra symbol on the forehead conveys conventional wisdom; this one is named Fihankra, from the Ashanti word for "house or compound" and is a symbol of security and safety. Godfred France designs and crafts the mask by hand.

"Beautiful art!"
I have it displayed in a discreet corner of my main room and it has a commanding presence. Not too big, not small at all. Just right.
