Fiercely beautiful, these wall masks are an original design by Ghanaian artisan Abdulai Osman Adam. Expressive aluminum tigers are masterfully embossed on the forehead of two fang-shaped masks, each one masterfully carved by hand. Adam not only designs these sese wood masks, but he also creates a term for them, Shakpa meaning "original design."
