Details

Daniel Asante transmits personal wisdoms through his art, creating an original sese wood mask. He crafts it by hand including colorful glass beads and threads of cotton and rayon. "This mask is called 'Dabidabi ebeye ye,' which in Akan language means 'it will surely be well one day.' I want to use this mask to tell people that they should not give up in life if they are not achieving a specific goal they have set for themselves, but rather they should endeavor to do what is expected of them, and with time they will be successful," believes Asante.

"Cherished for its beauty and meaning"

The mask is magnificent. I have purchased a few of Daniel Asante's masks because of his craftsmanship and attention to detail. They are beautiful and they speak to the person for whom they were purchased.

"a favorite acquisition"

I have purchased several masks. Each has been interesting in its own way but I think this one is my favorite and now hangs in my office where I can see it all day. I love the surface patterning and the unusual facial expression and configuration.

"BEAUTIFUL!"

For a smaller drum, this work of art has a deeper resonating sound. Dont be fooled by hits small stature! Tuned perfectly!:)
