I have a nice collection of African masks, and this one is my favorite. Beautiful carving and quite large in size.

This was an anniversary gift to friends. Knew them for 50+ years or so. As a 16 y/o worked with man as a lifeguard and maintained a friendship ever since. Met woman at same time as friend in 1969.

Thanks Eddison Agbeko, for your great art work.
