Product Description
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Admirer of history and traditions, Sefah Mohammed replicates the goro mask with loyal detail. Meaning "kola nut" in the Hausa language, it is reminiscent of the Songhai Empire and it symbolizes family unity and dedication to work. Mohammed carves the mask by hand from sese wood and decorates it with clay and painted motifs to achieve an antique illusion.

Sefah Mohammed says,
"There are a lot of factors that motivate me but the significant one was to depict the uniqueness of African history for our younger generations."
