Details

Fiercely expressive, this mask represents tefle, the supplier of ammunitions in times of war. His origin is from Ghana's Volta region and his image is vividly replicated by Robert Nortey. Working with manual tools, Nortey carves the mask of robust sese wood while delicately recreating the tribal markings that adorn the face.

“So Glad I Added to My Collection!”

I have many beautiful masks that I have ordered through Novica and love them, and this mask, ?To Foresee? is no exception! While it it one of my less embellished and detailed masks, it still makes a big impression. Heavy, substantial, and the beautiful reddish color really makes an impact! So happy to have it as part of my collection!
