This is a true piece of art! I purchased this piece as I wanted something from my Ghanaian ancestry and to help support artists from the country. This artist has an undeniable talent! The colours are so vibrant and the piece has had amazing reviews from everybody who has visited our home. Would recommend everyone to look into Winfred s work and support his business

This wonderful achievement from Winfred Ansah Okoampah captures the essence of love and trust between father and son without relying on superficial sentiment or clichƩ. This is the work of a master carver who understands human emotions at a profound level.

I debated a bit before initially purchasing the mask due to the slightly higher cost, but once I saw it in person I think every cent was worth it. The mask is beautifully done, sophisticated, and makes a stunning centerpiece on one of our smaller walls. The mask itself is pretty large and demands attention. It contrasts beautifully with our white wall and neutral tone furniture.
