Imposing and beautiful, an African personage carries the image of a bird on his forehead. Gleaming brass surrounds the face in radiance, and a deep voice seems to emanate from the open mouth. Representing an ancestor, this handsome mask comes from the Frafra people of Ghana where it is used to invoke the spirits of the ancestors. Abdul Karim Star works in sese wood, adding spectacular beadwork motifs.
