"This mask of striking zoopomorphic features replicates those worn by the Bemba people of Zambia and Democratic Republic of Congo. They are also known as Babemba, meaning 'People of the Lake' and it was worn by their sorcerers and healers for their rites of magic and healing. This wall mask by Eva Asantewa Amakye is carved by hand of seasoned sese wood featuring animal horns and ears, and such a wide opened mask it seems to split the mask in two."

"I love seeing how antique pieces evoke feelings of nostalgia. The most challenging aspect of this art is building on ideas, and the creative process from design to finish. Because I only design, I look for skilled carvers to translate my concepts onto the wood. Having worked with wood crafts for a while, I've learned to personally check the quality of wood and carved creations.
"This art has provided work for a lot of young people in my community. I still keep learning to improve the quality of my creations by attending seminars and exhibitions.
"I'm inspired by the things around me and by everyday life. I dream of one day having a big workshop to be able to help more young people in my community."
