The protruding nose, ears, and square, cut out eyes of this African mask from Ghanaian artisan Emmanuel Austin Ankude are emblematic of the masks used by the Dogon. They are an ethnic group found principally in Mali, West Africa, who wear the masks during rituals called dama. Hand carved from sese wood and given a rustic finish, this wall mask is sure to be a conversation piece in any room in which it's displayed.
