Akan wood mask, 'Progress'
Tall and stately, a slender personage rises above a larger face that represents the village as a whole. Daniel Nyadedzor carves a regal mask he names Nkosoo, which means "development" or "progress" in Ghana's Akan language. Often the council of elders in a community awards a piece like this to an individual who is industrious.
