Emmanuel Nyadedzor handcrafts this set of small sese wood masks of his own original design. Each of the three wears a unique and intense facial expression, and the trio includes tribal marks and accents including a carved bird and a miniature carved face. The Ghanaian artisan names them Asempa, which means "good news" in the Akan language.
