Originating from the Ashanti region of Ghana, the Akan Comb Mask displays the face of a person, highlighted with embossed features and textures that embody the Baule sculpture style of the Akan people. The image of the comb represents personal beauty, refinement, and a desire to please.
Traditional masks have been incorporated within African ceremonies and cultural celebrations for thousands of years. Today, these artefacts are often used as a stylistic counterpoint to contemporary styles, adding an artisanal element to modern designs.

PLEASE READ: These products are handmade and although we strive to make them identical, there may be very slight differences between them.
Our Ghanaian masks are produced by a small group of crafters, lead by our man on the ground, Godwin.
Godwin has been working with the artisans since 2002 as part of an organisation but has since branched out independently and begun his own business.
