Ghanaian wood mask, 'God's Way'

Faith is a recurring theme for Ghana's Peter Wolfgang Nkrumah. Adapting traditional Ghanaian design, he carves an elongated visage crowned by a bird whose beak rests between the eyes. This mask is a result of the artisan's own imagination, and calls attention to God. "His way is all we need, nothing more," the artisan explains.

Peter Wolfgang Nkrumah

"I am Peter Wolfgang Nkrumah. I am a Ghanaian and the youngest child of my parents, born on the June 25, 1974. Presently I am married and blessed with two daughters.

"I had my basic education through secondary school. Throughout my childhood I had always been interested in wood carvings and always wished to be a carver one day. In 1992 I ventured into wood carving and undertook a two and a half year course as an apprentice carver with Emmanuel Osei Ringo, a renowned carver who has greatly inspired me to greater heights.

"My mum and dad gave me their blessings and have always been encouraging me. My wife is also a great inspirer, who has always been giving me ideas of what to do and to mean something. At the moment I am self-established, being assisted by my wife, who promotes my work. My products have been showcased in 15 countries abroad, including the US, and in various national exhibitions."

Customer Reviews of Peter Wolfgang Nkrumah

Another great piece from Novica! Absolutely superb craftsmanship. I love the Dogon Maiden figure from Peter Nkrumah. This piece is deftly carved and expertly finished. I couldn't be more pleased. Thanks...
