Handmade Progress Akan Wood Mask (Ghana)
Handmade Progress Akan Wood Mask (Ghana)
Tall and stately, a slender personage rises above a larger face that represents the village as a whole. Daniel Nyadedzor carves a regal mask he names Nkosoo, which means "development" or "progress" in Ghana's Akan language. Often the council of elders in a community awards a piece like this to an individual who is industrious.

Story Behind The Art:
I started buying the finished pieces to sell at my shop and I happened to meet a man whose skill was in designing masks. I befriended this man and so when I'd close the shop for the day, I would walk to his workshop and observe the way he designed, and decided to by raw masks for this man to finish them for my shop.
