Details

Majestic horns rise above his stern countenance, emphasizing his intense expression. Ntoaso (to continue) is a courageous warrior, winning the battles that his ancestors can no longer fight.

Ernestina Oppong Asante fearlessly establishes her niche in a field dominated by men. This piece is patiently carved from naturally dried sese wood, adorned with brass and finished white clay and yellow emulsion paint to achieve its distinctive antique appearance. A newly elected warrior leader, this mask evokes admiration and contemplation in the home interior.
