West African artisan Robert Aidoo-Taylor crafts this daring mask from local ofram wood, then hand paints the forehead in deep, eye-catching red. The mask is named Anaafo after a suburb in Mankessim, Ghana, which shares the name with a neighborhood watch group that guards the area. The mask represents protection.
