    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.

Thanks Overstock, this Mask, once again, has made me a satisfied customer. The workmanship and size go perfect with the collage on my Dining Room wall. I am proud to say that I continue to receive rave reviews from family, friends and guests about this display. Once again, thank you.

Boule Sese Wood, Brass Mask (Ghana)

Reign from Oak Harbor, WA, Aug 17, 2007

I absolutely love this mask. Be advised that the metal portion is a much lighter color than depicted in the photo; however, it suits the mask perfectly. A very nice addition to my mask collection. I would definitely recommend this product. Way to go overstock.
