Carved by hand by Godfred France in Ghana, this authentic African mask revels in bright, bold colors. The mask is named 'Fihankra,' from the Ashanti word for 'house or compound,' and is a symbol of security and safety.

Story Behind the Art:
As a child, Ghanaian artisan Godfred France used to make boats with worn-out metal utensils, which he'd float in water. 'Due to financial constraints, my parents could not further my education and so I had to drop out of school and join my uncle, who was a wood carver. Thanks to the woodcarving, I've been able to educate my four children and I know that with constant sales, I'll be able to give them a brighter future than I had. This motivates me to wake up each day to carve!'
The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected. Note: Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen.

I'm very happy with this mask. Great addition to my collection of this style mask.
Nice touch for eclectic and well traveled room decor. I got a set of these, and it's cool to look around my living area and see things that are reminiscent of the places I've been.
Ready to hang upon arrival. Nice touch.
I have several masks throughout my apartment. All ordered from Overstock. The each compliment their locations and rooms. I am always on the lookout for other great masks to add to them. I stop here for the great selection and prices, first.
It's a beautiful mask that looks magnificent on our wall.
The Handcrafted Sese Wood 'Safety and Security' African Mask (Ghana) is a great piece. I purchased is along with three other masks, very happy
Love it. I have started a collection of this for my living room and every single one I've ordered has turned out great. You will not be disappointed
This one is as gorgeous as it looks on the screen and true to color. Lovely addition to my mask collection and comes from my favorite World Stock market.
Very nice I brought too of them ok
