Each pair is carved by hand, so the pair you receive will differ a little in grain, finish and detail from the pair photographed. Only the front of the masks is shown, so please ask the seller before ordering if you need to know how they hang. These are contemporary carvings, not antiques. Screen colours may differ from the wood in person.
The maker carved these two figures as a pair to express a traditional African understanding that creation, strength, continuity and balance come from complementarity: strength and tenderness, action and reflection, giving and receiving, protection and creation. They are carved in sese, a pale, light wood that Asante carvers in Ghana have long used for stools, including the everyday Asante stool, the asesedwa, and the stools that stand for the office of a chief.

A pair of hand carved wall masks, one male and one female, in sese wood with a dark brown finish, each about 46cm tall and sold together as a set of two. The female mask wears carved plaits falling either side of a ringed neck. The male has ears and a long carved beard. Both have slatted eyes cut right through the wood and a crest running over the crown, and on each forehead and cheek sits a panel with a punched, dotted border in copper and silver tones. The finish is rubbed back to show paler wood on the raised edges. The maker carved them as a pair to speak of complementarity: strength, protection and action in the masculine figure, nurture, wisdom and creativity in the feminine, and the idea that neither stands complete on its own. Displayed side by side they read as one piece, which is why they are sold together. If you want a single mask for a narrow wall, the same store's Prosperity mask is carved in the same wood. Each mask measures about 45.7 x 15.2cm (18 x 6in). Keep them out of direct sun and away from damp, and dust with a dry, soft cloth.
