About this item: This mask of stunning beauty is usually given to a new bride by her parents, to wish her a good marriage. Daniel Nyadedzor carves an extraordinary sese wood replica, which he adorns with embossed brass plates and copper. The Akan people call this mask "Awarepa," meaning "good marriage." About our Artist: 'After completing a course in auto mechanics, getting a job was difficult and neither my parents nor I could afford the high cost of the machinery I would need to set up on my own. I struggled by doing menial jobs, but I managed to save what I could until I had enough money to buy a small piece of land and raise a wooden store. I started buying finished carvings, and in the evenings I learned to carve these beautiful items. My inspiration comes through dreams, so when I wake up I immediately put the design on paper in order not to lose the idea.'
