"My name is Victor Dushie and I was born in Accra. I grew up in a community of wood carvers and designers, which naturally made me interested in this art. I learned from Sasu Kanu, who worked closely with me, teaching by example and helping me practice sanding my creations.

"During this time, I learned to master the craft after a lot of practical experience. I find that sanding down the wood has been the main challenge of this art. After completing my training, I also taught two others who actively use their skills.

"My creations are made from sese wood, which is readily available in my local markets. I am inspired by the Bible as well as other artists. My favorite part about this craft is designing.

"My family works alongside me, helping me sand down my creations before I put the finishing touches on them."

Beautiful design but box material not fine wood.

So much detail & texture - it's amazing! Not your average round mask; multi-colored wood, metal; extra piece at the top. I have had compliments from many friends & will probably buy another, as a gift for someone.
