Strong Protector Handcrafted African Wood and Jute Mask from Ghana

Salihu Ibrahim

(132)

Salihu Ibrahim crafts a striking mask intended to protect and fight evil where it hangs. He calls the mask Toura, which in the language of Ghana's Hausa people means "Strong." Ibrahim crafts the mask by hand with sese wood featuring a jute hair and beard, as well as a headdress trimmed with raffia. Red cotton threads trim the aluminum mask over the large, expressive eyes.

Atsula Dogon Board Ghanaian Dogon Board-Like Mahogany Wall Relief Panel

Ayoma Alhassan

(3)

This wall relief panel is a testament to the exceptional beauty of African art and a tribute to the traditional Dogon boards of Mali. These revered objects were known for their intricate depictions of human and animal figures, serving as protectors of the household and warding off malevolent spirits. Ghana’s Ayoma Alhassan creates his own version of those boards with a wall relief panel remarkably hand-carved in mahogany featuring eccentric figures, including monkey and bird-faced humans, turtles and more, each exquisitely adorned with accents made from a blend of charcoal and glue. They are further embellished by intricate hand-painted details that bring a pop of colour to this stunning piece.

The unique decorative accent features a cast of intriguing figures, including monkey-faced humans and a man with a big, round head, all of which are exquisitely adorned with accents made from a blend of charcoal and glue.

Rustic Police Officer Upcycled Metal and Auto Part Police Officer Sculpture

Armando Ramirez

(662)

With epaulets on his shoulders, a utility belt and an official hat, a rustic police officer works to protect the populace and enforce the law. Armando Ramírez crafts the image from recycled metal and automobile parts. Sheet metal scraps, a spark plug, tube and wire all find a new life in this unique sculpture.

The artisan does not give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.

'Market Woman Return II' African Market Woman Statuette in Recycled Metal

Kola Ogunsunlade Joseph

(1)

Entitled "Market Woman Return II" by Kola Ogunsunlade Joseph, we see depicted a woman holding her basket under her arm. Rather than balancing it on her head as she would do if it were full and she were beginning the selling of her wares, her curved posture suggests the fatigue felt at the end of a hard day. The viewer senses a tangible identification on the part of the artist for the plight of the African woman and, by extension, for the toils and tribulations of all women.

Taking an average of four days to create each sculpture, Kola Ogunsunlade Joseph carefully assembles pre-prepared metal plates and objects he has found and fuses them with arc welding materials. An application of a clear varnish protects the piece and adds a gleaming, elegant finish.

Rustic Tarantula Eco-Friendly Upcycled Metal Spider Sculpture from Mexico

Armando Ramirez

(662)

Native to Mexico, the tarantula is protected by law, yet poachers often capture the arachnids for illegal trade. Today, domestically-raised tarantulas are being nurtured in Jalisco to make illegal trafficking unprofitable. By Armando Ramirez, the large, hairy spider comes to life in recycled metal. Sheet metal scraps, a half sphere and galvanized wire all find a new life in this unique sculpture, while screws become the fangs.

The artisan does not give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.

The panel is adorned with a stunning array of abstract figures, including humans, lizards, snakes, mice and turtles embellished with accents made from a blend of charcoal and glue. Alhassan's masterful craftsmanship is further highlighted by the intricate hand-painted details that bring each figure to life. This piece is an homage to the traditional Dogon boards of Mali, which were renowned for their intricate depictions of human and animal figures that served to ward off malevolent spirits and protect the household.

Buana

Bali and Java

Before his days with NOVICA, Buana sold his jewelry designs door-to-door in the tourist areas of Bali. Business was tough, and local store owners were often slow to pay. All this changed when he joined NOVICA 7 years ago.

Buana now employs 28 of his neighbors to keep up with demand, and can now afford to send both of his children to school.
