About this item: She is elegant with a halo of stars and ornate repoussé motifs. Her eyes are golden, her lips red. Godfred France creates this beautiful African mask in an original design he names Inbuku, "Caring" in the Hausa language. "I came up with this mask based on the love I have for my mother. She has been very supportive and caring," he says. "Mothers all over the world, you are wonderful and I appreciate you!" 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!'
