About this item: Suggesting ritual scarification, richly textured repoussé adorns the features of an African mask. The design arises from the artisan's own imagination, as Theophilus Sackey depicts an adinkra symbol on the forehead. "Nyame biri wo soro is a symbol of hope," he explains. "It is a reminder that God's dwelling place is in the heaven, where he can listen to all prayers." - Intended as wall decor - Hand-crafted item -- color, size and/or motif may vary slightly About our Artist: 'I am a calm, humble and quiet person who also loves arts and crafts. After school, I'd stop by the workshop of a local wood carver, Salihu, to observe him and his workers as they carved different objects out of raw wood. Realizing my interest, Salihu offered to train me. Within a short time, I could finish the carved items. At a certain point in time, my parents could not afford to further my education so I decided to continue learning under Salihu and pursue a career in this field. It is my dream to one day become the owner of a well-established art workshop and be able to employ many workers to reduce the alarming rate of unemployment in my country.'
