Set of 3 Authentic African Masks Handcrafted in Ghana, "Mawunyo"
Emmanuel Nyadedzor creates this set of three petite African masks using his own original designs. Each one is crafted in a traditional weeks-long process. Carved and painted by hand, they are embellished with the rich textures of aluminum repoussé. The Ghanaian artisan names the trio Mawunyo, which means "God is good" in the Ewe language.

"Perfectly sized for Christmas Ornaments"
Another well-made set of African artwork to add to my cultural Christmas decor. The painted finish did need a bit of polish for the beauty of the details to shine, however.
