Product description
This authentic Ghanaian mask, from the Ashanti tribe, is carefully handcrafted using traditional techniques passed down for generations. The mask is richly inlaid with colorful beads, highlighting the lush aesthetic of the tribe. The beaded patterns are not only decorative, but also have symbolic meanings, such as protection, connection to ancestors, or celebration of important life events. This piece brings a piece of Ghanaian culture and art to any interior, and is a tribute to the rich traditions and deep spiritual beliefs of the Ashanti."
Such masks are often used during cultural ceremonies, including festivals, coronation ceremonies, and rituals marking transitional moments in life, such as birth, coming of age, marriage, and death. The specific patterns and colors of the beads can vary depending on the occasion for which the mask is made.
In the heart of Ghana, where the sun paints the landscape in golden hues, a special collaboration between Edanlights and local artisans emerges. With a passion for authentic, handmade art and a deep respect for cultural heritage, Edanlights is building a community where honesty and art go hand in hand.
The story begins with Kwame, a master woodworker, whose skills have been passed down from generation to generation. Under the shade of a baobab tree, he sculpts a traditional Ghanaian mask with care and precision. Every detail, from the shape of the eyes to the lines of the mouth, tells part of the story of his tribe, the Ashanti.
Edanlights puts Kwame and many other artisans like him at the center of their business model. By purchasing directly from these artists, the company not only guarantees a fair price that respects their skills and time, but also strengthens the local economy and promotes the preservation of traditional crafts. This direct purchase model eliminates unnecessary middlemen, benefiting both artists and consumers.
