About this item: "The elderly people in our community have knowledge of all the things that happened in the past. They sometimes sit down with us, the young ones, to tell us about these things. I came up with this mask to honor such elderly men. I choose the title of 'The Historian' because this is often what they talk about, " says Ghanaian artisan Otchere Raymond. He carves the original mask from native sese wood. - Hand-crafted item -- color, size and/or motif may vary slightly About our Artist: 'This skill of carving has been passed on for generations in my family. I was trained under the supervision of my father, who was also a master carver and very well known in our region. This art has sustained my family for most of my life. Like my father, I am a respected craftsmen in my town and have taught a lot of young men over the years. I have two daughters and a son who I hope to teach someday. Even if he does not pursue carving as a career, he can still teach his son in order to pass this family legacy on, for generations to come. '
