Inspired by the Adinkra symbol Sankofa, which means "return and get it," this pair of sculptures is hand-carved of Ghanaian sese wood, depicting two birds that stretch their necks to reach over their backs. One bird has an egg in its mouth and the other has a closed beak. Abdul Aziz Mohamadu designs this pair of sculptures, elaborating each bird with multicolored paints and vibrant, recycled glass beads.

"Another Winner!"
Very striking color combination. The detail that appears looks similar to netting. This mask blends well with the Stunning-Amahle wood-mask I previously purchased.
