Akan wood mask, 'Warrior's Bravery'
The face of pride, bravery and courage, this mask represents the attributes of an Akan okofo ("warrior"). Horns on the forehead symbolize the okofo's power while embossed brass plates recreate tribal markings. Kwaku Ofosuhene Apenteng carves the mask by hand of local sese wood and uses polish to obtain the intriguing color that adds to the fascinating allure of this warrior's mask.
