About this item: Master carver Eric Darko replicates the fine art of the Dagbon people of northern Ghana with this impressive mask. He carves it by hand from sese wood, expertly detailing the coiffure and facial scarifications that distinguish the tribe's Yaa Naa or chief. About our Artist: During school summer holidays, Eric Darko would visit his brother, who taught him how to carve. With help from his family, especially his brother, Eric was able to open his own workshop in the town where he grew up. Sese, a common wood harvested in eastern Ghana, is his primary material. Masks and profiles comprise the majority of his art. His inspiration comes naturally, although sometimes he carves based on his customers' ideas.
