Chief Carver Nana Frimpong depicts an Ashanti king and queen in two imposing masks. Carved by hand from sese wood, each one receives coats of black polish. The king has a diamond on his forehead and ritual scarification on his cheeks; the queen wears her hair like a tall helmet. 'Masks like these were used by Ashanti royalty to fight spirits that attacked them,' Frimpong says.
