Stylized birds gaze in two directions on this mask by Theophilus Sackey. Hewn from native sese wood and detailed by hand, the handsome mask is covered with richly textured embossed aluminum. The hand-crafted treasure arises from the artisan's own imagination.
Bright color and rustic textures define an expressive face. Carving sese wood by hand, Wilson Aboagye creates an African mask of his own design. He names it <i>Ahouden,</i> meaning 'strength' in the Twi language of Ghana's Akan people.
