Details

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.
