Designed by Ghana's Kobina Asmah, this spectacular African mask reveals a striking visage accentuated by gracefully elongated features and crowned by a remarkable headdress. Skillfully hand-carved from sese wood, the mask is brought to life through a captivating array of hand-applied colors, blending brown, blue, red, yellow and white harmoniously. This exquisite decorative accent imparts a sense of cultural richness and significance, seamlessly integrating into your surroundings.

This sculpture of the Benin Oba is rare, but the item I received did not have the richness of the picture. Also the sculptures coloring on the neck had bed a-lot when the item arrived. This was going to be a culmination moment of my current collection. .

Enabling Education
With the help of his income from NOVICA, Kobina was able to support his children and their education. They are now grown up and able to support themselves. Kobina sees education as something very important to him and his heart breaks when he sees children walking around or working instead of attending school. He currently helps support four children of single mothers and pays for their education. The oldest one is about to graduate high school and it has been his dream to attend university. Kobina is working hard to save and gather funds to help him achieve his dream and further his education.
Profound Impact
Most of Kobina's income is from NOVICA and, although sales have been good recently, a large portion of his income goes to supporting the education of four children. Paying for their education is a huge financial burden but is a constant motivation for him to create and sell more designs.
Microcredit Financing
Kobina Asmah has received 8 microcredit loans with 0% interest from Kiva and Novica, the first for $100 and the most recent for $500. Proceeds were used to invest in a bulk purchase of wood, aluminum plates, and sandpaper.
Job Creator
Kobina is a conceptual artist, designer and finisher. He depends on carvers to help him bring his designs to life. Every product purchased helps support him and those he works with.
Moving On Up
Kobina started out with very a very humble income and has now been able to increase it every year further enabling him to support himself and his community.
Caring for Children
Kobina has two children of his own and helps support the education of four other children in his community.
Elder Master
