This handsome mask by Eric Danquah features an Adinkra symbol embossed on the forehead. This is understood as "go back to your roots," a message conveyed through the form of a bird with its head tilted backward. Carved by hand, the mask is named Animuonyam or "Honor" in the language spoken in Aburi, north of Accra. It is used in ceremonies for the ancestors.
