About this item: Captivated by the beliefs and traditions of the Aburi people from Ghana, Walter Kuma carves this fascinating sese wood mask. For the Aburi, animals represent certain personality traits that can be conferred to the wearer. The gorilla is regarded as a strong and powerful creature, whose image tends to be reserved solely for the king. About our Artist: Ghana's Walter Kuma says, 'I have my own workshop, where I design and carve the things I like. I carve different masks that represent the value of the family, unity and our ancestors. African masks have a strong social, ethnic, historic and symbolic meaning.'
