NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, works together with talented artisan designers around the world to produce stunning, keepsake treasures. Our mantra is to spread global happiness, so rest assured - we’ll do everything we possibly can to ensure you’re a happy customer. About this item: This mask, skillfully hewn by Robert Nortey and the artisans of Robanty Limited, symbolizes courage. Rendered in the style of the Baoule people of Cote d'ivoire, the face suggests an ancient warrior, who fought persistently to revenge the death of others despite having shed his own blood. His tongue hangs out in an expression of bright red, representing the sufferings of his people. Brass plates adorn the nose, cheeks, and forehead, complementing the rich grain of hand-carved sese wood, finished in dark tan and black polish. About our Artist: Robert Nortey left his brother's workshop to start on his own. Presently, he works along with expert artists, all designers and carvers. Robert focuses on design and works with local Ghanaian woods. 'I love my art and I hope to produce more interesting designs for my customers,' says Robert, who has participated in countless exhibitions, always achieving positive results.
