With tired eyes, a young man surveys the great beyond. Believed to personify an ancestor, this ghost mask inspires a sensation of dignity and peace. Ernestina Oppong Asante carves the piece by hand from sese wood and applies dark tan polish to give it a distinguished finish as well as to protect the wood. Brass and aluminum plates along with copper wire beautify this exquisite example of West African art. It makes an inspired gift for the African art collector.
