This is necessary to give an anthropological perspective in appreciation to help those foreign to the culture to appreciate and relish the works of art just the same way a Ghanaian will do. This is also necessary for sculpture particularly, because it is a major art form that influences the works of most Ghanaian artists as compared to the other art forms such as pottery, textiles or painting. A good appreciation of traditional sculpture then opens one’s eyes to contemporary Ghanaian art as well. We use empirical research method to source for answers to questions usually asked by newcomers to Ghana about traditional sculpture. This knowledge or information comes by means of direct or indirect observation or experience with sculptors and users of the forms from different and diverse ethnic groupings in the culture. What is termed as ‘General Characteristics’ are just helpful but apt answers to real questions normally asked by foreigners seeking to make something out of their new experiences with Ghanaian traditional art. We also find that t he consistent conformity of the traditional artist, does not spell a limitation in creativity, but does rather reveal the sophisticated and creative sensibilities that evolved and pervade the art of the various ethnicities. We guide an exercise to help understand a Ghanaian sculpture towards the end of this paper. 72 Adam, L. (1949). Primitive art , Penguin Books Ltd, London, p. 109. Antuba m, K. (1963).
