About this item: A mask of striking appeal, it features two faces under the symbolic horns of power. Kwaku Ofosuhene Apenteng names this piece Asana, the Akan word for "clan," for the mask is inspired by the many tribal customs within the Akan people. A highly-detailed work, the mask is carved of sese wood and adorned with copper and brass plates. About our Artist: I studied business and worked for many years in the field, but I wasn't satisfied. In 1984 I was introduced to the carving profession by my cousin who was a carver and also a professional teacher. He taught me how to carve for about a year, which seemed to come naturally to me. I then started a full-time professional carving career late in 1985. I have been carving on my own ever since. I also learned how to decorate my works with brass and beads, making them unique.
