The Tradition tee displays an elongated mask with strong features, emblematic of traditional Fang masks, which originated in the rain forests of Gabon, and have been widely adopted and re-interpreted by artisans across Western Africa, particularly by the Ashanti tribe of Ghana. Made from Sese wood with accents in aluminum, they often feature an Adinkra symbol on the forehead to bestow meaning and protection and communicate tribal identity. The Fang masks are intended as wall décor to protect the home of the owner.

Each mask is unique and varies in size. Popular among tourists are ‘passport’ masks which are travel-friendly.
