Elephant Themed Wood Mask with Brass and Glass Beads 'Akyiglinyi'

"This remarkable mask is the original creation of Ghana's Awudu Saaed. Carved by hand from rubberwood, the mask is then inlaid with small triangles of brass that cover the entire forehead. Colorful recycled glass beads embellish the lower part of the face, while the head and trunk of an elephant accent the upper portion. The artisan names his design Akyiglinyi, meaning 'elephant' in the Ewe language."
