Ghanaian wood sculpture, 'Stately Advice'

Walter Kuma replicates the Efutu coat of arms with superb mastery as he carves the sese wood mask by hand. The Efutu people live in the Central Region of Ghana and speak the Akan language. The noble sculpture features two horns, diagonal tribal scars on the cheeks, and a round base to stand firmly on a flat surface.

Walter Kuma

"My name is Walter Kuma, and I was born in Ghana on October 22, 1981. I got interested in Ghanaian and African carvings when I was a child, because they have been an important art form for many generations. Africans adore carving, because it is filled with historic and spiritual significance. So when I finished middle school I chose to learn the trade, and I was apprenticed to Mr. Kofi Adjei.

"Now I have my own workshop, where I design and carve the things I like. I also have three young apprentices learning the trade. I carve different masks that represent the value of the family, unity and our ancestors. African masks have a strong social, ethnic, historic and symbolic meaning. I have not attended any exhibitions personally, but the people that have bought my work have exhibited in their galleries or take them to different African-theme exhibitions."
