NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, works together with talented artisan designers around the world to produce stunning, keepsake treasures. Our mantra is to spread global happiness, so rest assured - we’ll do everything we possibly can to ensure you’re a happy customer. About this item: Hand-carved by Daniel Nyadedzor, narrow eyes are far seeing, and the countenance is serious. Its smooth, wide forehead boasts plates of embossed brass, and subtle color distinguishes this beautiful mask. Named Tagbagya (flat headed) in Ghana's Ewe language, it depicts a person of brilliance, thus anyone who excels academically may be given this mask as an award. About our Artist: 'After completing a course in auto mechanics, getting a job was difficult and neither my parents nor I could afford the high cost of the machinery I would need to set up on my own. I struggled by doing menial jobs, but I managed to save what I could until I had enough money to buy a small piece of land and raise a wooden store. I started buying finished carvings, and in the evenings I learned to carve these beautiful items. My inspiration comes through dreams, so when I wake up I immediately put the design on paper in order not to lose the idea.'

It looks blue toned in the picture but it's actually more of a green tone, which doesn't match my decor. Other than that the actual piece is of good quality and a nice work of art.

I expected a blue mask not brown.
