The mask portrays a beautiful feminine character inspired by the artist's own design. The careful use of acrylic paint and polish highlight the woman's alluring hair, eyes, and lips. The artisan refers to this work as oheneba, meaning "King's Child" in Twi, a dialect spoken by the Akan people of Ghana. - Hand-crafted item -- color, size and/or motif may vary slightly - Intended as wall decor About our Artist: 'I'm married and I have four children but, I also look after five other children. I had already worked in carpentry when my brother-in-law Samuel, taught me the art of carving. I specialize in traditional masks and African drums, and I usually get a good response from people. However, due to financial constraints I'm not able to produce more work to meet the demand. I love to create new designs, so I constantly work to diversify my collection. I have taught more than ten people how to carve and they are also well-established in this trade.
