Ghanaian wood statuette, 'Ghanaian Fish'
Morphing into human features, a narrow visage is framed by fins and the mouth seems to blow bubbles. Robert Nortey explores the alluring grain of sese wood, sculpting a languid figure that is half man, half fish. Fish masks are typically found along the coastal areas of Ghana and signify abundance.
