Las formas geométricas precisas distinguen esta hermosa máscara por Godfred France. Tallado a mano en madera de sese curada, hace alarde de texturas exquisitas. "Estas máscaras son utilizadas por el pueblo mamprusi de Ghana, que las utiliza durante la temporada de cosecha. Las usan en agradecimiento a Dios por una cosecha abundante", explica el artesano. Aplica láminas de aluminio en relieve a los elementos y agrega detalles en latón. Francia nombra esta pieza gawsu, una palabra mamprusi que significa "esperanza".

I have been collecting some African art, including the bust of a beautiful African woman which took me many years to find and to find just that right piece. The hand-carved Continent of Africa includes five carved-out animals which I hope you can see. It was a huge find. But when I stumbled upon Novica and the African Mask. Well, it was like finding the Rosetta stone. Your masks have found their way into my heart and a wonderful place in my home that I proudly display and want to share with you. I have many beautiful collectibles from all over the world. I believe I collect these items because I feel they bring me closer to all the magnificent people GOD has placed on earth. I hope you enjoy the photo I sent. I do understand that only five of the seven pieces are your creations. Thank you and to the other artists for your fine work in preserving history and a fine culture. Thank you again, Mr. Godfred France. I also forgot to mention that my favorite mask is God is Supreme
