A detailed, vertical, close-up image displays a relief sculpture of an anthropomorphic face, coated in metallic gold-toned paint, set against a dark, textured background. The face exhibits a solemn expression with downcast, almond-shaped eyes, a prominent, wide nose, and closed, full lips. Three distinct vertical striations are centrally located on the forehead, each approximately 3 cm in length, with a small, raised circular point positioned above the middle striation. A single vertical groove extends from the nasal septum to the upper lip. The figure wears an elaborate headdress, the lower band of which features a horizontal brick-like texture. Above this, radiating, stylized elements, resembling petals or feathers, form a crown, each exhibiting an internal concentric swirling pattern. The background to the right of the face is textured with intricate, wave-like or geometric patterns. Green plant leaves partially obscure the sculpture on both sides. On the left, multiple slender, linear leaves are visible, extending vertically. On the right, a broader leaf extends diagonally from the upper right corner towards the center. A dark-skinned human hand, with visible knuckles, is partially visible in the upper left corner, positioned behind or touching the slender leaves. The sculpture's surface shows signs of wear, including chipped paint, white mineral deposits primarily around the lower face and forehead, and dirt accumulation in recessed areas. The specific location of this artwork in Accra, Ghana, cannot be definitively determined from this image alone.
