About this item: Expressed in sese wood, an elongated visage purses lips and peers through narrowed eyes. Ernestina Oppong Asante portrays a village sage deep in thought. A cap tops the slender face; the long, dark line of the nose balances the ample forehead. This exquisite mask is Ghanaian in style. About our Artist: 'I was born in the eastern region of Ghana and trained in dressmaking but realized that the trade would not do well in my town,' Ernestina Oppong Assante says. 'I therefore trained for three years as a wood carver, and began developing woodcarvings on my own. Though carving has long been regarded as the preserve of men, I am glad that I have been able not only to infiltrate but to also make an impact on the trade.'
