Delivery EstimateWith narrowed eyes that discern people's motives, this handsome visage speaks out boldly. Godfred France creates the beautiful African mask in an original design he names Zuba, "Faithfulness" in the Hausa language. "There is a lot of mistrust in the world today and I designed this mask to express the need to be faithful to one another," the artisan confides.

"Beautiful Reflective of Ghanaian Tradition"
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.
Best Uses
