Hand-carved by Daniel Nyadedzor, narrow eyes are far seeing, and the countenance is serious. Its smooth, wide forehead boasts plates of embossed brass, and subtle color distinguishes this beautiful mask. Named Tagbagya (flat headed) in Ghana's Ewe language, it depicts a person of brilliance, thus anyone who excels academically may be given this mask as an award.
