Description

This handmade creation is offered in partnership with NOVICA, in association with National Geographic.

Product Features:
  • Ashanti warriors wore masks during a war between the Ashanti and the Gyamah
  • Mask was believed to possess special powers, and when the Ashanti were victorious it became known as a wonderful mask
  • Nana Frimpong carved decorative accessory from African sese wood

Story Behind the Art:

Nana Frimpong is the chief carver for the king of the Ashanti. 'Some of my work for the king includes objects with the gye nyame (symbol for the supremacy of God), stools, staffs and other royal and ceremonial objects. I have trained and qualified some ten men in the art of skilled carving. I draw inspiration from traditional kente cloth designs, from my family background, and from our rich Ashanti tradition. My dream has always been to invest in my children's education. I am happy to say that this is now possible--two of my sons are in university, the first of our family to obtain a higher education. My other primary goal is to help my community, so that the poverty that plagues them will be eradicated completely. Above all, I wish to help make it possible for peace and tranquility to prevail in my community and the nation of Ghana.'
