This exquisite mask will enhance your living space or make a splendid present for loved ones.

Since their first king, Osei Tutu, the Ashanti (or Asante) nation prospered in what today is Ghana. Fierce fighters, Ashanti were one of the few African peoples that seriously resisted European colonisers, their warriors uncowed by sniper rifles and seven-pounder guns.

 Ashanti are a mainly matrilineal society, the line of descent traced through the female. Historically, this mother progeny relationship determined land rights, inheritance of property, offices and titles.
Ashanti culture, flourishing in line with the power of its state, was famous for gold and brass craftsmanship, wood carving, furniture, and brightly coloured woven cloth, called kente.Ashanti masks were believed to bridge the gap between the spiritual and physical realms, bringing the spirits of the ancestors and other entities to life through dance. The greatest and most frequent mask-wearing ceremonies of the Ashanti recall the spirits of departed rulers with offerings of food and drink, requesting the rulers’ favour for the common good, called the Adae
