Designer Abdul Aziz Mohamadu calls this mask Osumboa Hene, meaning "prominent chief" in Twi. Hand-carved from sese wood and hand-painted, the mask features intricate aluminum detailing on the forehead and cheeks and is finished with white clay for an antique look. Long strands of raffia form the chief's beard.

"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.
