A master of traditional African design, Godfred France creates an elegant mask that arises from his own imagination. Rich repoussé ornamentation distinguishes symmetrical features in an elongated face. "I designed this mask because I want people to uphold the virtue of honesty as they go about their daily activities," the Ghanaian artisan confides.

"One of My Favorite of Four African Masks from Novi"
I especially love the use of embossed metal and display it proudly with other Novica-purchased masks from other African countries. In fact, I loved this and the other three Ive displayed together so much that I printed a picture of them to display on my office wall. I especially appreciate the use of clay coloring which gives this piece a distinctive look, while still working perfectly as part of my collection.
