The stunning design of this original wall mask is by Ghanaian artisan Eric Danquah. He crafts the mask by hand, carving it from
sese wood and adorning it with embossed aluminum on the cheeks and forehead. The impressive headdress is centered by a bird looking down, which in Danquah's design represents the legendary Sankofa symbol. One of the most renowned of Adinkra symbols of Akan origin, Sankofa - literally meaning "go back and retrieve it" - invites to reflect on the past to build a better future.
