The Story Behind the Product
Akwasi Agyeman was born into a family of 12 children in the small tribal village of Foase in Ghana, West Africa. The family was so poor that Akwasi was limited to only a 7th grade education in order to help his father farm to feed the family. In 7th grade his teacher asked each of them to make something for art class. Akwasi produced a Fertility Doll as his project and amazed the teacher. Akwasi knew then he had a natural talent for carving. After ten years and with the help of Fair trade Akwasi is now married with two handsome boys. He employs 15 people and has built a small three bedroom house for his family. Akwasi and his fellow artisans hope you enjoy their work.

This is a great piece of art and the picture does not do the detail justice. Buy one now, you will not be disappointed. This is the first mask I have ever purchased but now I will keep looking for others to start my collection. BUY ONE TODAY!!!!
This is a substantial piece of art. The detail is amazing. Like the previous reviewer, I too used a Q-tip and oil to highlight the eyelashes and eyebrows (thanks for the tip). The mask has a good weight on it so make sure you hang it securely.
A good buy.
this is a beautiful piece. when i took it out of its box, i was in awe. i cant stop looking at it. it is by far my favorite mask in my collection. the wood is solid and heavy and the detail is exquisite. i will definately be on the look out for another mask from overstock!
