The art and customs of Ghana's Ada people inspire Sefah Mohammed to craft this sese wood mask replica. Known as Fiami ("Call me"), the mask is worn by virgin girls when dancing at the Asafotufiame Festival in July. It is regarded as high honor for a family to have a daughter in the dance. Past Ada warriors and their feats are remembered during this festival, which also serves as preparation for the upcoming harvest season. The festival finishes with a colorful and energetic durbar organized by Ada chiefs. Mohammed's version of the mask features colorful hand-painted details and embossed aluminum plates.
