Unique African Wood Mask 'Horn'

"Crowned in sheep's horns, a somber visage makes an imposing sight. Eric Darko chooses the traditional shape of the West African horn mask to create this superlative sculpture in sese wood. Adorned with rich embellishments of embossed brass and oil paint, the work is strikingly beautiful. Horns are said to represent power in Ghanaian society, and men from royal families often wear these masks as part of their ceremonial attire. The mask is supported by a trio of smaller faces to illustrate the saying: 'three heads are better than one.'"
