The elongated, pointed silhouette is characteristic of traditional Ghanaian mask-making traditions, and the intricate surface carving demonstrates the skilled hand of an experienced artisan.

The mask is decorated in a dramatic palette of deep ebony, crimson red, and natural ivory, with multiple carved surface textures throughout — including a central feather or leaf motif radiating from the brow, a crosshatch pattern across the cheek panels contrasting with hammered metal detailing, and a sculptural fan of carved petals or flames topping the crown.

Whether displayed as a standalone statement piece, grouped within a curated gallery wall, or an addition to a growing African mask collection, this particularly commanding piece brings an authentic sense of global artistry and cultural heritage to any exotic, earthy, bohemian, or globally inspired interior.
