Quiet features exude tranquility and good will in this elegant African mask. Adorned with richly embossed brass, the design arises from artisan Rita Addo Zakours own imagination. She names the exquisite piece Nutifafa, which means "peace be unto you" in the Ewe language. Exceptional Artisan Quality by Rita Addo Zakour.
This lovely art mask can be used as a decoration on a wall. The attention to detail used in carving this piece highlights the natural beauty of the wood. Each piece is hand-finished, resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind work of art. A fantastic choice for home or office decor.
Rita Addo Zakour
I do my designing with African concepts in mind.
With the sale of my jewelry, women in the neighborhood who enjoy stringing beads also get to earn some money when there is an increase in demand. We use mainly wood, recycled aluminum sheets and recycled plastic beads.
I am a hardworking, loyal, organized and religious person, and I believe my friends or family would say the same about me. I live by this philosophy, to focus on the positive, not on the negative, and to never give up.
