About this item: In celebration of love, Samuel Okyere designs an original and highly detailed mask. "Love never loses its way home, " firmly believes the Ghanaian artisan. Naming his design Odo, meaning love in the Twi dialect of the Akan people, Okyere carves the sese wood mask by hand featuring horns, symbols of power. He decorates the mask with embossed aluminum plates and painted details. - Hand-crafted item -- color, size and/or motif may vary slightly - Antiqued finish About our Artist: 'I used to work as a messenger in a bank, but I realized I could do much better things with my life so I decided to go into arts, especially carving. I did not really undergo any actually training, but started carving bit by bit and sometimes sought help from my other colleagues. Sometimes I assisted them too. Eventually I became very skilled in carving and I then decided to settle for full time carving and depend solely on my own ideas to carve. Now I have assistants and I also train other carvers. '
