Robert Nortey replicates the Adzogbo dance mask, which originates in Benin. Meaning "War Ritual," the Adzogbo dance is performed only by men so they may display their physical strength and prowess, as well as their spiritual power. The dance is preceded by a series of spiritual songs, and is now performed in Togo and Ghana. Nortey carves the mask from sese wood and adorns it with hand-painted motifs and embossed brass plates.

"So Glad I Added to My Collection!"
I have many beautiful masks that I have ordered through Novica and love them, and this mask, ?To Foresee? is no exception! While it it one of my less embellished and detailed masks, it still makes a big impression. Heavy, substantial, and the beautiful reddish color really makes an impact! So happy to have it as part of my collection!

"Just beautiful..."
I just received you mask, ?Keeping Order?, and it is beautifully made. I particularly love the contrast of the red and black, and the aluminum inserts are beautiful. It is proudly hanging on my wall already with my other masks from Ghana! At this time I have 5 masks, plus 2 mini masks in my collection. This one will not be my last!
