About this item: With 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. About our Artist: As a child, Godfred France used to make boats with worn-out metal utensils, which he'd float in water. 'Due to financial constraints, my parents could not further my education and so I had to drop out of school and join my uncle, who was a wood carver. Thanks to the woodcarving, I've been able to educate my four children and I know that with constant sales, I'll be able to give them a brighter future than I had. This motivates me to wake up each day to carve!'
