After visiting festivals in the northern region of Ghana, artisan Joseph Boateng found creative inspiration in the customs he observed. One such tradition was the presence of Atinga drummers, who played their drums as both a welcome and farewell to guests. Joseph designs and handcrafts this sculpture of an Atinga drummer out of sese wood and paints it in shades of white, black, and brown.

"Beautiful piece"
Another beautiful piece added to my collection. My only complaint is that the leather hook broke. Im thankful the mask didnt break when it fell off the wall. Hopefully the shoemaker repair can replace the leather hook.

"I like my version of this mask"
I really like this mask!!! First time I buy from Novica. I will say that my mask does not look exactly like the one in the picture. I think when you are picking a mask you have to ask yourself if you like the overall look of the mask because you will probably get a variation of the pictured mask. Which makes sense since they are hand carved and sometimes more than one of the same mask is made. This does not take away from the craftsmanship. Make no mistake, this is a well made mask. I applaud the artist for his creative effort and I look forward to seeing his future offerings :)

"So unique"
I was so pleased with this box. The size was a great surprise. It looks like a number of the masks I have seen. The artist should consider making a hanging version that opens and has key hooks inside. I would buy definitely buy more of his work. This is unique.
