Designed by Ghanaian artisan Winfred Ansah Okoampah, this African mask is crafted by local artisans. They hand-carve this mask from sese wood, depicting a face with a finish in solid black. Accents of intricately embossed aluminum evoke traditional scarification practices. This mask is named Shango, meaning "god of war" in the Yoruba language of Nigeria.
