This is a West African Ghana handmade mask in excellent condition. 14 inches tall 6 1/2 inches length and 2 1/2 + inches wide.
The Ghana are famous for their masks and puppets. Their masks are generally carved with horns, comb or crest on top of the head and are often covered with metal sheeting.
Masks are often made to resemble people, animals and other objects that people identify with. Many African masks represent animals. Some African communities believe that the animal masks can help them communicate with the spirits who live in forests or open savannah.
Masks serve an important role in rituals or ceremonies with varied purposes like ensuring a good harvest, addressing tribal needs in time of peace or war, or conveying spiritual presences in initiation rituals or burial ceremonies. Some masks represent the spirits of deceased ancestors.
